About
Katarina Koss Modig is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work has fundamentally shaped the surgical management of localized prostate cancer. Her research centers on comparing open and robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP), with a specific focus on long-term functional and oncological outcomes. Her landmark study, with 114 citations, provides critical 8-year follow-up data from the LAP-01 trial, demonstrating that while both techniques offer comparable cancer control, robot-assisted surgery yields superior functional recovery—a finding that has influenced surgical guidelines worldwide. Dr. Koss Modig has also made pivotal contributions to understanding postoperative complications, including vesicourethral anastomotic stenosis and urinary incontinence. Her recent nationwide, population-based study identifies patient- and procedure-specific risk factors for post-prostatectomy incontinence, offering actionable insights for preoperative counseling and surgical planning. Through her rigorous comparative effectiveness research and large-scale epidemiological analyses, Dr. Koss Modig continues to drive evidence-based improvements in prostate cancer surgery, helping surgeons optimize outcomes and enhance quality of life for thousands of patients.
