About

Lori B. Lerner is a urologist whose research has made meaningful contributions to the evolving landscape of surgical treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), one of the most common conditions affecting aging men. Working out of Boston, Massachusetts, Lerner has focused on understanding how surgical approaches to BPH have shifted over time, particularly as newer, less invasive technologies have emerged to replace traditional procedures. Her 2012 paper examining trends and attitudes in BPH surgical management became her most recognized work, garnering 38 citations and providing the field with valuable insight into how practitioners were adapting to innovations such as laser therapy — especially important for patients on anticoagulation who present unique surgical challenges. More recently, Lerner has engaged with cutting-edge robotic interventions, contributing to the standardization of Aquablation, a waterjet-based robotic procedure for BPH treatment, reflecting her commitment to staying at the forefront of minimally invasive urology. Her longitudinal focus on surgical trends positions her as a thoughtful clinician-researcher whose work helps guide urologists in making informed, evidence-based decisions for their patients with BPH.
