About
Petra Neuhaus is a leading clinical researcher in urologic oncology, whose work has fundamentally reshaped the evidence base for surgical treatment of prostate cancer. Her primary research focus is on comparative effectiveness and patient-reported outcomes following radical prostatectomy, with a specific expertise in the nuances between robotic-assisted (RARP) and laparoscopic (LRP) surgical approaches. Neuhaus is best known as the principal investigator of the landmark LAP-01 trial, the first multicenter, randomized, patient-blinded controlled study to compare these two techniques. Her seminal 2021 publication on this trial has garnered over 100 citations, providing critical Level 1 evidence on perioperative outcomes. She has since published extensively on the trial’s 12-month functional results and quality-of-life data, demonstrating a sustained impact on clinical practice. Her work extends to methodologically rigorous analyses of age-stratified outcomes and the definition of urinary continence, addressing key gaps in surgical standardization. Through her high-impact, randomized trial data, Neuhaus has provided surgeons and patients with the definitive evidence needed to make informed treatment decisions, establishing a new benchmark for surgical research in urology.
