About
Hans Stricker is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose career has been defined by advancing the field of robotic-assisted surgery for prostate and bladder cancers. His research focuses on refining surgical techniques, establishing competency benchmarks, and proving the long-term oncologic efficacy of robotic procedures. A central figure in the International Robotic Cystectomy Consortium, Stricker has led landmark studies demonstrating that robot-assisted radical cystectomy can achieve surgical margins and lymph node yields comparable to open surgery, with his 2010 paper on the learning curve for this complex procedure accumulating 238 citations. His work on robotic radical prostatectomy is equally influential; a 2014 study tracking 4,803 patients over ten years reported outstanding oncologic outcomes, earning 128 citations. Beyond outcomes, Stricker developed the Robotic Anastomosis Competency Evaluation, a validated tool for objectively assessing surgical skill during urethrovesical anastomosis. His contributions have helped standardize training and elevate the quality of minimally invasive urologic oncology, cementing his legacy as a leader who has shaped modern surgical practice.
