About

Jen Hoogenes is a leading researcher in urologic surgery and surgical education, with a primary focus on robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Her work has significantly advanced understanding of surgical techniques, training methodologies, and patient outcomes in minimally invasive urologic oncology. Hoogenes has made major contributions through rigorous evidence synthesis, including a contemporary systematic review and meta-analysis comparing extraperitoneal versus transperitoneal approaches for RARP (40 citations), which has guided surgical decision-making. She has also been instrumental in surgical skills assessment, conducting a randomized comparison of robotic virtual reality simulators (25 citations) and leading a Delphi study to develop and validate an intraoperative assessment tool for RARP training (6 citations). Her research on positive surgical margin rates during the RARP learning curve (15 citations) provides critical insights for surgical training programs. Additionally, Hoogenes has investigated long-term continence outcomes following posterior reconstruction urethrovesical anastomosis. Through her work, she has helped shape evidence-based surgical practice and competency-based training frameworks in urology, making her a respected figure in both clinical outcomes research and surgical education.
