About

Lutz Trojan is a leading urological surgeon whose research centers on optimizing surgical outcomes for prostate cancer and ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO), with a particular focus on robot-assisted laparoscopic techniques. His major contributions include pioneering work on the Silent Operation Theatre Optimisation System (SOTOS©), demonstrating how reducing noise pollution in the operating room can lower staff stress and improve concentration during da Vinci surgeries. Trojan has also advanced the understanding of post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence, identifying cognitive ability as a novel, non-modifiable risk factor and developing an intraoperative urodynamic stress test to predict continence outcomes. His highly cited systematic review and network meta-analysis on UPJO surgical approaches (27 citations) provides crucial guidance for treatment selection. Additionally, his prospective randomized trial comparing transurethral versus suprapubic catheter use after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (24 citations) has directly informed postoperative care protocols. With over a decade of influential work, Trojan’s research consistently bridges surgical innovation with patient-centered outcomes, making him a respected voice in minimally invasive urology.
