About
Thorsten Schlomm is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work has fundamentally advanced the surgical management of prostate cancer, particularly through the development and validation of the NeuroSAFE technique. His landmark study on over 11,000 consecutive patients demonstrated that NeuroSAFE—a method for intraoperative frozen-section analysis of the neurovascular bundle—significantly increases nerve-sparing frequency and reduces positive surgical margins during both open and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. This work, cited over 280 times, has become a cornerstone of modern nerve-sparing surgery. Schlomm has also led critical investigations into perioperative safety, including the management of rectal injuries and the safety of continuing low-dose aspirin during prostatectomy, challenging long-held surgical paradigms. His research extends to robotic surgery more broadly, with comparative studies on donor nephrectomy and detailed analyses of how surgeon experience and case volume affect pathological outcomes. With a career spanning high-volume centers and a focus on translating meticulous surgical technique into measurable patient benefit, Schlomm’s contributions have shaped evidence-based guidelines and improved functional outcomes for thousands of men worldwide.
