About
Jarno Riikonen’s research sits at the intersection of surgical innovation, patient outcomes, and the human dimensions of robotic technology. His work primarily focuses on robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RALP), where he has made significant contributions to improving surgical quality and postoperative recovery. Riikonen’s landmark study on the initiation of RALP in Finland demonstrated how the technology drove centralization of care and enhanced quality metrics, a finding that has shaped national surgical practices. He has also pioneered techniques to reduce complications, such as his work on side-fenestrated catheters to minimize anastomotic leakage, and conducted randomized trials comparing RALP to three-dimensional laparoscopic surgery. Notably, Riikonen brings a unique interpretive lens to robotic surgery, exploring how surgeons develop resilience and meaning in high-tech environments—a perspective that bridges clinical excellence with human factors. With over 110 citations across his most cited works, his impact is evident in both surgical outcomes and the broader understanding of technology in medicine. His research on PAXgene fixation for prostate tissue further underscores his commitment to integrating molecular research with clinical pathology, advancing the frontiers of prostate cancer diagnostics.
