About
Dr. H.J.E.J. Vrijhof is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on refining surgical precision and outcomes in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) for prostate cancer. A key focus is intraoperative margin assessment; their 2022 study on confocal laser microscopy (CLM) as a faster alternative to the NeuroSAFE technique (31 citations) has opened new avenues for real-time surgical guidance. Dr. Vrijhof has also made critical contributions to preoperative risk stratification, demonstrating that PSMA-PET/CT imaging can predict biochemical persistence and early recurrence (29 citations). Their work extends to the risks of surgical staging, with a 2024 study establishing extended pelvic lymph node dissection as an independent risk factor for major complications (7 citations). By critically evaluating the necessity of biopsy reassessment and the trade-offs of (super) extended lymph node dissection, Dr. Vrijhof’s research directly informs safer, more effective surgical planning. Their growing body of work is shaping modern, evidence-based urologic oncology.
