About
Mikael Lagerkvist is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work has fundamentally shaped the modern approach to prostate cancer surgery. His primary research areas center on the comparative effectiveness of robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) versus the traditional open retropubic radical prostatectomy (RRP), with a specific focus on functional outcomes that matter most to patients. Lagerkvist’s landmark prospective, controlled, nonrandomised trial, published in *European Urology* (489 citations), provided critical evidence comparing urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction rates between the two surgical techniques, directly challenging assumptions about robotic superiority. He further advanced the field by demonstrating the precise relationship between neurovascular bundle preservation during radical prostatectomy and postoperative urinary continence (162 citations), offering surgeons a roadmap to optimize functional recovery. His multi-institutional analysis of robotic and laparoscopic simple prostatectomy outcomes (197 citations) extended his impact beyond oncology into benign prostatic hyperplasia treatment. Through rigorous, patient-centered research, Lagerkvist has established himself as a pivotal voice in evidence-based urologic oncology, helping to define best practices for tens of thousands of men undergoing prostate surgery worldwide.
