Dr. habil. Christopher Netsch, FEBU

Dr. Dr. habil. Christopher Netsch is a German consultant urologist and academic clinician known for advanced minimally invasive urology. He leads a high-volume tertiary urology service in Hamburg, where his work centers on complex endourological procedures, modern laser surgery for benign prostatic enlargement (BPH), and comprehensive stone disease management, ranging from ureteroscopy to percutaneous techniques for large or challenging kidney stones. He also performs robotic-assisted (Da Vinci) urologic surgery and treats functional urology conditions, including urinary incontinence. Clinically, he is recognized for combining guideline-based decision-making with technology-driven, tissue-sparing approaches—prioritizing durable outcomes, rapid recovery, and careful selection of the least invasive, most effective treatment. Patients typically seek him for second opinions, recurrent stone disease, difficult BPH cases, and situations where endoscopic expertise can help avoid open surgery. Alongside clinical leadership, Dr. Netsch is active in teaching and postgraduate training and is engaged in urological research, particularly in endourology, laser applications, and lower urinary tract conditions. He has contributed extensively to peer-reviewed literature and participates in the international scientific community through reviewing and editorial work—reflecting a profile that bridges hands-on surgical practice with continuous academic development.
