About
Claus G. Roehrborn is a prominent urologist and researcher whose work has profoundly shaped the modern management of prostate disease, particularly in the areas of minimally invasive surgical techniques, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and prostate cancer treatment. His research has systematically evaluated the clinical and economic dimensions of radical prostatectomy approaches, with landmark comparative studies—including a multinational analysis of over 22,000 patients—illuminating differences in surgical margins across open, laparoscopic, and robot-assisted techniques (151 citations). His early cost-analysis work (285 citations) remains a foundational reference for understanding the financial implications of robotic surgery adoption. Roehrborn has also been a leading voice in the evolution of BPH treatment, championing innovative therapies such as Aquablation, and contributing pivotal trial data across prostate sizes up to 150 cc. His investigations into surgical learning curves and dual-console robotic training reflect a commitment to surgical education and quality improvement. With publications spanning clinical outcomes, health economics, and emerging technologies, Roehrborn's body of work continues to guide urologists worldwide in delivering evidence-based, patient-centered care.
