Stefanie Ziewers

About

Dr. Stefanie Ziewers is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques in urological oncology. Her primary research areas include robotic-assisted surgery for kidney and prostate cancers, with a particular focus on optimizing surgical approaches to improve patient outcomes. Dr. Ziewers made a significant contribution to the field by demonstrating that the development of symptomatic lymphoceles after radical prostatectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection is independent of the surgical approach, a finding based on a single-center analysis that has garnered 27 citations and helped refine postoperative care protocols. She has also been instrumental in comparing robotic-assisted versus open ureteral reimplantation through a multicentre study, providing valuable evidence on the benefits of robotic techniques. Her most recent prospective work investigates the non-inferiority of retroperitoneal versus transperitoneal robot-assisted partial nephrectomy, a study that addresses a critical gap in surgical decision-making for kidney cancer. With a growing citation record and a focus on evidence-based surgical innovation, Dr. Ziewers is establishing herself as a thoughtful contributor to the evolution of urologic surgery.
