About
Dr. Matthew Kaag is a urologic oncologist whose research focuses on improving surgical outcomes for patients with genitourinary cancers, particularly prostate and renal cell carcinoma. He has made significant contributions to the refinement of robotic-assisted surgical techniques, most notably through his pioneering work on extended pelvic lymph node dissection during robotic radical prostatectomy, a procedure detailed in his highly cited 2010 paper (47 citations). His investigations into the impact of warm versus cold ischemia on renal function following partial nephrectomy (17 citations) have helped shape intraoperative strategies to preserve kidney function. Dr. Kaag has also advanced perioperative risk assessment by validating the ACS NSQIP surgical risk calculator for partial nephrectomy patients (16 citations), demonstrating its utility in predicting 30-day outcomes. His work bridges technical innovation with evidence-based practice, directly influencing clinical decision-making in urologic oncology. With over 80 cumulative citations across his most influential studies, Dr. Kaag’s research continues to guide surgeons in optimizing both oncologic control and functional preservation for their patients.
