About
Dr. M. Goossens is a leading robotic urologic surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and bladder and prostate cancers. At a high-volume referral center, Dr. Goossens has made pivotal contributions by directly comparing robotic-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP) with holmium laser enucleation (HoLEP) for large-volume prostates, demonstrating that both techniques are safe and effective for prostates over 100 cc and even those exceeding 200 cc. This comparative research, cited over 100 times, has helped guide surgical decision-making for patients with severe lower urinary tract symptoms. Dr. Goossens also pioneered the “collar” technique for apical dissection during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, a novel approach that improves surgical precision. In the realm of bladder cancer, their work has shown that robot-assisted radical cystectomy can be safely performed in octogenarians, expanding treatment options for elderly patients. Additionally, Dr. Goossens has published on complex reconstructive procedures like robot-assisted Boari flap ureteric reimplantation. With a portfolio of highly cited papers and a focus on surgical innovation, Dr. Goossens is a recognized authority in robotic urology, continually refining techniques to improve patient outcomes.
