About

Marieke J. Krimphove is a urologic researcher whose work bridges surgical oncology, patient-centered outcomes, and health services research. Her major contributions focus on optimizing surgical decision-making in urologic oncology, particularly for prostate cancer and upper tract reconstruction. Her most cited study, "Variation in Positive Surgical Margin Status After Radical Prostatectomy for pT2 Prostate Cancer" (2019, 13 citations), critically examined how surgeon and institutional factors influence margin positivity—a key predictor of biochemical recurrence—highlighting opportunities to standardize surgical quality. She has also investigated the impact of preoperative double-J stenting on pyeloplasty outcomes (2021, 3 citations), assessing perioperative complications, recurrence, and quality of life, thereby informing evidence-based practice in ureteropelvic junction obstruction management. Additionally, her work on workplace absenteeism comparing open versus robotic approaches for radical prostatectomy, hysterectomy, and partial colectomy (2020, 2 citations) underscores her commitment to evaluating real-world functional and economic impacts of surgical innovation. Through these studies, Krimphove demonstrates a consistent focus on translating clinical data into actionable insights that improve both oncologic outcomes and patient well-being.
