About
Stephan Macher‐Goeppinger is a distinguished urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing surgical techniques for prostate cancer treatment, with a particular focus on nerve-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. His major contributions lie in refining surgical approaches to preserve erectile function and urinary continence without compromising oncological outcomes. Notably, he led a prospective randomized controlled trial investigating the perineal hydrodissection technique, which uses ultrasound-guided fluid injection to facilitate safer nerve preservation during robotic prostatectomy. This study, published in 2017, demonstrated the technique's feasibility and potential benefits, earning recognition with 5 citations as a foundational step in this area. Macher‐Goeppinger's research bridges the gap between surgical innovation and patient quality of life, addressing a critical need in prostate cancer care. His work has been presented at major urology conferences, contributing to the ongoing evolution of minimally invasive surgery. By systematically evaluating new methods, he helps shape evidence-based practices that improve outcomes for men undergoing prostate cancer treatment.
