About

Sebastiaan Remmers is a leading researcher in urological oncology, with a primary focus on improving surgical outcomes for prostate cancer patients. His key research areas include intraoperative margin assessment, nerve-sparing techniques, and functional recovery after radical prostatectomy. Remmers is best known for his pioneering work on the NeuroSAFE technique—an intraoperative neurovascular structure-adjacent frozen-section examination that allows surgeons to preserve more nerve tissue during prostate removal without compromising cancer control. His landmark 2022 study, cited 40 times, demonstrated that NeuroSAFE significantly increases the rate of nerve-sparing surgery while maintaining oncological safety. Building on this, his 2023 work (22 citations) showed that the technique also improves postoperative urinary continence and erectile function. Most recently, his 2024 study (9 citations) confirmed that centralized use of NeuroSAFE enhances surgical margin control. Remmers has also contributed to the use of PSMA PET/CT imaging for evaluating response to salvage radiation therapy. His research directly impacts clinical practice, offering men with prostate cancer a better chance at preserving quality of life after surgery.
