About

Dr. Marcus Horstmann is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research has significantly advanced the field of robotic-assisted pelvic surgery, particularly in the treatment of prostate and bladder cancers. His work centers on optimizing surgical approaches for radical prostatectomy, with major contributions comparing the extraperitoneal and transperitoneal techniques to improve patient outcomes. Dr. Horstmann’s most impactful study, with 69 citations, prospectively evaluated the AirSeal® valve-less trocar system against standard trocars in robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy, demonstrating its potential to enhance surgical efficiency and safety. He also pioneered the robot-assisted laparoscopic repair of high vesicovaginal fistulae using a peritoneal flap inlay, a technically demanding procedure that has garnered 41 citations. Additionally, his single-centre evaluation of surgical approaches (18 citations) provided critical insights into the nuances of robotic prostatectomy. Dr. Horstmann’s investigations into pre-prostatic tissue for lymph node detection and his collaborative work on urethral anastomosis techniques for orthotopic bladder replacement further underscore his dedication to refining surgical precision. Through these contributions, he has shaped modern urologic robotics, offering evidence-based guidance that benefits both surgeons and patients.
