About
Maximilian Burger is a urological surgeon and clinical researcher whose work spans minimally invasive surgery, urologic oncology, and the physiological consequences of advanced surgical techniques. He has made particularly significant contributions to the understanding of robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP), investigating how the procedure's steep Trendelenburg positioning affects intraocular pressure, intracranial pressure, hemodynamics, and pulmonary function — research that has meaningfully informed perioperative safety protocols. His most-cited work, a systematic review on nephroureterectomy outcomes for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (156 citations), reflects his expertise in urologic oncology and his engagement with European Association of Urology guideline development. Burger has also advanced surgical technique refinement, including peritoneal flap methods to reduce lymphocele formation after pelvic lymph node dissection and buccal mucosa graft ureteroplasty for complex ureteral reconstruction. His patient-centered research — exploring treatment regret after prostatectomy and the oncological impact of obesity — underscores a commitment to improving both clinical outcomes and patient experience. Through prospective multicenter trials and systematic reviews, Burger has established himself as a rigorous contributor to evidence-based urological surgery.
