About
Evert L. Koldewijn is a pioneering urological surgeon whose research centers on robot-assisted surgery for bladder and prostate cancer, with a strong focus on surgical training and skill assessment. His most impactful work includes a landmark multicentre comparative effectiveness study on robot-assisted versus open radical cystectomy (53 citations), which demonstrated significant clinical outcomes in bladder cancer patients. Koldewijn has made major contributions to objective surgical skill evaluation, notably through his innovative use of the Kinovea video motion tracking system to analyze surgical movements during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. His research extends to economic evaluations of robotic surgery and structured training curricula for urology residents, showing that proctoring can achieve results equivalent to simulator-guided training. With over 125 total citations, Koldewijn's work has shaped modern urological practice by providing evidence for robotic surgery's effectiveness and developing reproducible training methods. His studies on postoperative urinary continence predictors and nontechnical skills in surgery further demonstrate his comprehensive approach to improving surgical outcomes.
