About
Dr. Thorsten Bach is a pioneering urological surgeon whose research focuses on the surgical management of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and the advancement of robotic and minimally invasive technologies. His most significant contributions center on the clinical validation and optimization of Aquablation therapy, a water-jet-based robotic procedure for treating lower urinary tract symptoms due to BPH. Dr. Bach has led critical studies evaluating transfusion rates across various haemostasis methods, demonstrating that athermal techniques can be as effective as cautery in preventing blood transfusions after Aquablation. His work includes a matched-pair analysis comparing open, endoscopic (ThuVEP), and robotic approaches for large-volume prostates, as well as a comprehensive meta-analysis of functional outcomes across diverse prostate anatomies. With over 100 citations to his most-cited papers, Dr. Bach has helped establish Aquablation as a standardized, reproducible procedure. He has also explored the emerging role of multimodal artificial intelligence in urological surgery and evaluated novel technologies like radiopaque laser fibers for lithotripsy. Through his rigorous clinical research and technical innovations, Dr. Bach has become a leading voice in the evolution of robotic urology, bridging the gap between cutting-edge technology and improved patient outcomes.
