About
Dr. Sigrid Carlsson is a leading clinical researcher in urologic oncology, whose work has fundamentally shaped the surgical management of prostate cancer. Her primary research focus is the comparative effectiveness of open retropubic radical prostatectomy (RRP) versus robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP), with a particular emphasis on functional and oncologic outcomes. Dr. Carlsson is best known for her central role in the landmark Swedish LAPPRO trial, a large, prospective, controlled study that has provided the highest level of evidence comparing these two surgical techniques. Her major contributions include demonstrating that while RALP offers advantages in certain functional domains like erectile function recovery, surgeon heterogeneity—the variation in outcomes between individual surgeons—is a critical factor that can outweigh the choice of surgical approach. Her work, which has garnered over 250 citations, has also rigorously examined long-term oncologic control, learning curves for robotic surgery, and post-operative complications such as hernia formation. Notably, her 2018 paper on 24-month outcomes from the LAPPRO trial is a highly cited benchmark in the field. Dr. Carlsson’s research provides essential, evidence-based insights that help surgeons and patients make informed decisions about prostate cancer treatment.
