About

Dr. L.F. Qvigstad is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on improving outcomes for prostate cancer patients through minimally invasive surgical techniques. His primary research areas include robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP), lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), and the use of advanced imaging for surgical planning. Dr. Qvigstad’s major contribution is his pioneering investigation into how RALP can reduce LUTS in prostate cancer patients, with his most-cited study (3 citations, 2024) analyzing a large cohort of 1,935 patients to identify predictors of symptom improvement. This work has significant clinical implications for patient counseling and quality of life. He is also the lead author of the prePSMA trial protocol (2025), a multicenter, randomized noninferiority study exploring whether preoperative PSMA PET/CT can effectively triage patients for extended pelvic lymph node dissection, potentially sparing many from unnecessary surgery. This innovative trial design showcases his commitment to evidence-based, patient-centered care. With a growing citation impact and a focus on translating surgical innovations into tangible benefits, Dr. Qvigstad is a rising authority in urologic oncology.
