About

Scott Asselmeier is a urologic surgeon whose research focuses on the technical outcomes and complications of minimally invasive prostate cancer surgery, particularly robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy. His most cited work, "Incidence and imaging appearance of urethrovesical anastomotic urinary leaks following da Vinci robotic prostatectomy" (2007, 34 citations), established a foundational understanding of postoperative urinary leak patterns in the early era of robotic surgery. By systematically characterizing the imaging appearance and incidence of these complications, Asselmeier provided critical guidance for urologists and radiologists in identifying and managing anastomotic leaks, thereby improving patient care in a rapidly evolving surgical field. His contributions helped refine surgical technique and postoperative surveillance protocols, directly impacting the safety and efficacy of robotic prostatectomy. Through this focused, high-impact work, Asselmeier has influenced the practice of urologic oncology during a transformative period in surgical technology.
