About
Wouter Everaerts is a leading urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving outcomes for prostate cancer patients through robotic-assisted surgery. His major contributions lie in refining surgical techniques and developing predictive tools to enhance post-operative quality of life. Notably, his 2019 study on the impact of MRI on prostate cancer staging (35 citations) has helped refine risk classification, while his 2020 work on a novel tool to predict continence after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (28 citations) offers patients personalized recovery expectations. Everaerts has also demonstrated the key role of levator ani thickness in early urinary continence recovery (18 citations), shifting focus beyond membranous urethral length. His development of the Robocare nurse-led care pathway (15 citations) represents an innovative approach to patient management. Beyond prostate surgery, he has explored robotic bladder cancer surgery and salvage lymph node dissection for recurrent disease. Everaerts’ research on surgical proficiency assessment (10 citations) contributes to standardized training evaluation. With over 170 cumulative citations across his most impactful papers, his work continues to shape evidence-based, patient-centered robotic urological care.
