About
Jost von Hardenberg is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive treatments for prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia. His major contributions lie in comparing surgical techniques and refining robotic-assisted procedures. Notably, his systematic review and meta-analysis of robot-assisted simple prostatectomy versus endoscopic enucleation of the prostate (30 citations) provides critical guidance for managing large prostate glands. He has also pioneered salvage robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy following focal HIFU therapy (17 citations), demonstrating feasibility and outcomes in recurrent cancer. His landmark PELYCAN trial (14 citations) established the peritoneal flap technique for preventing symptomatic lymphoceles after robotic prostatectomy with lymph node dissection—a significant advancement in reducing postoperative complications. Additionally, von Hardenberg has investigated training levels and inter-operator variability in software-based MRI/ultrasound fusion targeted prostate biopsies, enhancing diagnostic accuracy. With a portfolio of high-impact studies, including ongoing phase III trials, his work directly shapes clinical practice, offering patients safer, more effective surgical options while setting new standards in urologic oncology and robotic surgery.
