Dr. Stadelmann studies various medical conditions and treatments, particularly those related to skin health and wound healing. A significant focus of his research is on penile melanoma in situ, a rare skin cancer that can recur after treatment. He examines how this condition behaves differently than other skin cancers, which helps doctors manage and monitor it more effectively over time. In addition, he investigates how bacteria affect wound healing and the role of substances like aprotinin in improving recovery for patients with chronic wounds. His work also touches on advanced orthodontic treatments, aiming to expedite care for adults facing complex dental issues.
Key findings
In his 2020 study on penile melanoma in situ, Dr. Stadelmann found that the disease can return even after treatment, indicating that patients require long-term monitoring.
His research in 1993 determined that wounds infected with bacteria healed weakest at three weeks, while treatment with aprotinin improved healing compared to untreated wounds.
In a publication from 1980, it was found that 15% of younger people aged 11-20 in Basel had antibodies against the hepatitis A virus, compared to 90% of individuals over 71, demonstrating the impact of improved hygiene over time.

Urology
Krughoff K, Kilchevksy A, Stadelmann W, Gorman T, Madden-Fuentes R
Plain English This study looked at penile melanoma in situ, a very rare type of skin cancer, and followed patients for a longer period than usual. Researchers found that the disease can return even after treatment, and its progression does not follow the typical patterns seen in other types of skin cancer, which could complicate treatment decisions. This information is important for guiding doctors on how to better manage and monitor this condition over the long term.
Who this helps: Patients with penile melanoma in situ and their doctors.

Plain English This study looked at how bacteria affect the healing of skin wounds in guinea pigs and whether a substance called aprotinin could help improve the healing process. Researchers found that wounds infected with bacteria healed weakest at three weeks, but giving aprotinin along with the bacteria helped the healing. At four weeks, the strongest and toughest wounds were those just infected with bacteria, while aprotinin alone improved healing compared to untreated wounds.
Who this helps: This research benefits patients with chronic wounds, especially those at risk of infections.

Plain English This study looked at faster orthodontic treatments for adults, especially for complicated cases that might need surgery. Researchers found that using rapid methods can effectively prepare patients for surgery by improving jaw alignment. This matters because quicker treatment can lead to better outcomes for those with severe dental issues.
Who this helps: Patients needing orthodontic care before oral surgery.

Plain English This study looked at how many people in Basel had been exposed to the hepatitis A virus (HAV) by testing their blood for antibodies in 1978-79. It found that 15% of younger people (ages 11-20) had antibodies, while 90% of those over 71 showed signs of past exposure, with an average prevalence of 52% across all ages. These results indicate that better hygiene has reduced infections over time, especially in younger generations.
Who this helps: This research benefits public health officials and doctors by providing insights into the immunity levels in the population, guiding vaccination efforts.
