About

Dr. Steffen Weikert is a leading urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on refining surgical techniques and outcomes in prostate cancer treatment, particularly through minimally invasive approaches like laparoscopic and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). His major contributions include pioneering the use of peritoneal flaps during RARP to prevent lymphocele—a common complication after pelvic lymph node dissection—with his 2020 study on this technique accumulating 29 citations. He has also conducted landmark long-term analyses, such as his 2012 study on oncological and continence outcomes after laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (37 citations), which provided critical benchmarks for surgical success. Dr. Weikert’s research further highlights the impact of patient factors, demonstrating that high BMI and aggressive tumors independently predict symptomatic lymphocele formation (19 citations), and that obesity increases positive surgical margins (8 citations). His work on positive margins’ long-term oncological impact (8 citations) has informed surgical planning. With over 100 cumulative citations across his most influential papers, Dr. Weikert’s contributions are essential reading for urologists and researchers seeking to optimize prostate cancer surgery, reduce complications, and improve patient quality of life.
