About

Michael Borre is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work has significantly advanced the surgical management of prostate and bladder cancers. His primary research areas center on the comparative effectiveness, cost-efficiency, and perioperative outcomes of robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery versus traditional open approaches. Borre’s most influential study, a short-term cost-effectiveness analysis of robot-assisted versus open retropubic radical prostatectomy (54 citations), provided critical early evidence on the economic viability of robotic surgery. He has also made substantial contributions to understanding the body’s systemic inflammatory response to surgery, with prospective studies (21 and 18 citations) demonstrating that robot-assisted laparoscopic cystectomy induces a less severe inflammatory reaction than open mini-laparotomy cystectomy, as measured by C-reactive protein levels. More recently, Borre has explored the diagnostic frontier, comparing manually operated and robot-assisted in-bore MRI targeted biopsy for prostate cancer detection (9 citations). His work, including foundational research on the organization of radical prostatectomy in Denmark, has helped shape modern urologic oncology by rigorously evaluating the benefits and costs of minimally invasive techniques.
