About
Dr. J.P. Michiel Sedelaar is a leading urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving surgical precision and outcomes in prostate cancer care, particularly through robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). His major contributions span three critical areas: intraoperative margin assessment, preoperative imaging-driven prediction, and the health economics of robotic surgery. Notably, he pioneered the use of confocal laser microscopy (CLM) for real-time surgical margin evaluation during RARP, a faster alternative to traditional frozen-section analysis (31 citations). He has also advanced the field by validating PSMA-PET/CT as a predictor of biochemical persistence (29 citations) and developing AI-driven MRI models to detect extraprostatic extension (14 citations). His work on the cost-effectiveness of robotic surgery—creating an interactive tool to quantify when robotic systems provide value for money (28 citations)—has informed policy and hospital investment decisions. With additional studies on nomogram validation and complication risks of extended lymph node dissection, Dr. Sedelaar’s research directly shapes clinical practice, balancing oncologic efficacy with patient safety and economic sustainability.
