About
Jens Hansen is a urological surgeon and clinical researcher whose work has significantly advanced the understanding of minimally invasive and robot-assisted techniques in urologic oncology and reconstructive urology. His research spans prostate cancer surgery, kidney-sparing procedures, and perioperative outcomes, with a particular focus on comparing open, laparoscopic, and robotic surgical approaches to improve patient care. Hansen's most influential contribution, cited over 420 times, demonstrated through nationwide inpatient data that robot-assisted radical prostatectomy offers meaningful perioperative advantages over open surgery. His landmark work on the NeuroSAFE technique — examining frozen-section margins to preserve neurovascular bundles — has reshaped nerve-sparing prostatectomy practices, earning nearly 280 citations and influencing surgical protocols internationally across more than 11,000 patients. His investigations into minimally invasive pyeloplasty adoption exposed critical disparities in access to modern surgical care in North America, while his studies on aspirin management perioperatively challenged longstanding surgical assumptions. Hansen's broader portfolio includes analyses of nephron-sparing surgery trends in Europe, reflecting his commitment to guideline-concordant, organ-preserving oncological care. Together, his work represents a rigorous, data-driven approach to optimizing surgical outcomes and advancing evidence-based urology.
