About

Michael Mikulasovich is a surgical pathologist whose work bridges urologic oncology and precision surgical techniques. His most cited research, "‘Mohs surgery of the prostate’: the utility of *in situ* frozen section analysis during robotic prostatectomy" (2010, 18 citations), introduced a paradigm-shifting approach to prostate cancer surgery. By adapting Mohs micrographic surgery principles—traditionally used for skin cancers—to robotic prostatectomy, Mikulasovich demonstrated how real-time, *in situ* frozen section analysis could guide surgeons in achieving negative margins while preserving healthy tissue. This work directly addressed a critical challenge in prostate cancer treatment: balancing oncologic control with functional outcomes. Though his citation count is modest, the conceptual impact is significant, as the study provided Level 4 evidence for a novel intraoperative technique that has influenced subsequent discussions on nerve-sparing and margin assessment. Mikulasovich’s contribution lies in translating a well-established dermatologic method into a urologic context, offering a roadmap for more tailored, tissue-sparing surgery. His research underscores the value of cross-disciplinary innovation in surgical pathology, making him a notable figure for students interested in the intersection of pathology, surgical technique, and patient-centered outcomes.
