About
Tore Knutsen is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on improving functional outcomes and quality of life for men undergoing curative treatment for prostate cancer. His research centers on two key areas: optimizing surgical technique to reduce post-operative complications and rigorously assessing patient-reported outcomes after different treatment modalities. In a highly cited 2020 study (8 citations), Knutsen demonstrated that introducing a periurethral suspension stitch during robotic prostatectomy significantly improved early urinary continence rates, directly addressing one of the most distressing side effects of the procedure. More recently, his 2023 work (3 citations) provides critical comparative data on patient-reported adverse health outcomes following prostatectomy, primary radiotherapy, and salvage radiotherapy, filling an evidence gap by including modern treatment techniques. By combining technical innovation with a patient-centered research approach, Knutsen’s work helps surgeons refine their practice and better inform patients about what to expect from treatment, ultimately striving to reduce the morbidity associated with prostate cancer care.
