About
Anna Lantz is a urological surgeon and clinical researcher whose work centers on surgical techniques and outcomes in urological oncology, particularly radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer. She has made significant contributions to the evidence base comparing robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) with open surgical approaches, drawing extensively on data from the landmark LAPPRO trial—a large prospective multicentre study that has shaped Scandinavian and international urological practice. Her most cited work (153 citations) introduced the "Hood Technique" for robotic prostatectomy, a novel anatomical approach preserving periurethral structures to accelerate urinary continence recovery without compromising cancer control. Lantz's research spans oncological recurrence, functional recovery, surgical learning curves, anastomotic stenosis, hernia risk, and hospital readmission rates, providing a comprehensive clinical picture of patient outcomes over up to eight years of follow-up (114 citations). Her investigations into nerve-sparing techniques and risk-stratified continence recovery further reflect a commitment to refining individualized surgical care. Collectively, her publications demonstrate a rigorous, patient-centered approach to improving both the safety and quality of life outcomes for men undergoing prostate cancer surgery, establishing her as a notable voice in contemporary robotic urology.
