About
Michael Lamche is a urological surgeon whose research centers on optimizing surgical outcomes in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), with a particular focus on postoperative recovery and complication management. His most cited work, a prospective analysis of 425 consecutive patients, investigated the ideal timing of indwelling catheter removal after RARP using a running barbed suture technique, comparing removal on postoperative day 4 versus day 7. This study, with 16 citations, provided crucial evidence that earlier catheter removal can be safe and effective, potentially reducing patient discomfort and recovery time. Lamche also contributed to the standardization of complication reporting in urology through his work on the Clavien-Dindo classification system applied to radical prostatectomy, which has been cited 8 times and helps clinicians systematically assess and communicate surgical outcomes. His research directly addresses practical, patient-centered questions in minimally invasive prostate cancer surgery, offering data-driven guidance for postoperative protocols. By focusing on technical refinements and evidence-based recovery pathways, Lamche’s work supports improved quality of care and shorter hospital stays for men undergoing robotic prostatectomy.
