About
Alexandra Rocha is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive prostate cancer surgery. Her primary research focuses on advancing robotic-assisted techniques, with a particular emphasis on the extraperitoneal approach—a method that reduces operative time and postoperative complications compared to traditional transperitoneal routes. In her landmark 2023 study, Rocha documented the first large-scale application of the Hugo™ RAS system for extraperitoneal robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, demonstrating its safety and efficacy in a tertiary center with extensive laparoscopic experience. This work, garnering 17 citations in just its first year, has established a new benchmark for surgical innovation, offering patients faster recovery and fewer side effects. Beyond this, Rocha has contributed to refining nerve-sparing techniques and optimizing perioperative protocols, influencing clinical guidelines worldwide. Her dedication to training the next generation of surgeons and her role in validating next-generation robotic platforms underscore her as a transformative figure in urologic oncology, with a growing impact that promises to shape the field for years to come.
