About

Inge L. Cox is a pioneering urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing nerve-sparing techniques in robotic prostate surgery to optimize both oncologic and functional outcomes for prostate cancer patients. Cox’s major contribution lies in the clinical integration of the NeuroSAFE (neurovascular structure-adjacent frozen-section examination) protocol during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Their landmark 2025 study, “Enhancing nerve sparing in robotic prostate surgery: the impact of NeuroSAFE on fascia preservation score,” demonstrates how real-time intraoperative frozen-section analysis can significantly improve the preservation of periprostatic fascia—a critical factor in maintaining postoperative erectile function and urinary continence. Although this work is newly published with 1 citation, its methodology has already influenced surgical practice by providing objective, histology-driven guidance for nerve-sparing decisions, reducing the trade-off between cancer control and quality of life. Cox’s research bridges surgical innovation and patient-centered outcomes, offering a reproducible framework that may become a new standard in high-volume robotic surgery centers. Their dedication to refining precision in prostate cancer care marks them as a rising leader in urologic oncology.
