Dr. Markus Hohenfellner is Professor of Urology and Chair of The Department of Urology of the University of Heidelberg, Medical School, Germany. He obtained his medical degree at the Leopold-Franzens University, Innsbruck, Austria and at the University of Oxford, Oxford, UK.

The scientific and clinical focus of Markus Hohenfellner is urologic oncology and tumor surgery, minimally invasive urology including robotics and continent reconstruction of the lower urinary tract. The Department of Urology Heidelberg covers the entire spectrum of modern urology including prevention, early detection, ultraradical tumor surgery, minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgery (Da Vinci) lower urinary tract dysfunction, pediatric urology, stone therapy and andrology. In the translational perspective, the Department of Urology Heidelberg has implemented a section of Molecular Urooncology, directed by Prof. Stefan Duensing. It is a renowned research institution on its own as well as a critical gateway to relevant basic science institutions and working groups. Markus Hohenfellner is a member of several national and international urological societies. He is chairman of the EAU Working Group on Urologic Trauma and the responsible representative of the German Urological Association to establish guidelines on Urologic Trauma. He is author/co-author of numerous scientific publications and book chapters, as well as co-editor of the texts “Emergencies in Urology”, “Aktuelles aus Klinik und Praxis der Urologie”, “Reconstructive Surgery of the Lower Urinary Tract in Children”. In 2015 he introduced "Semi-Live" as a new format to communicate surgical science. The aim is to promote international, scientific exchange and the transfer of urological-surgical knowledge.
