About

Dr. Asher Mandel is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work centers on refining robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy to improve recovery outcomes for prostate cancer patients. His most significant contribution is the development of the "hood technique," a surgical modification introduced in 2018 that preserves the delicate structures anterior to the urethra during apical dissection. This innovation directly targets early postoperative recovery, reducing incontinence and accelerating return to normal function. Though his seminal paper on the technique, published in 2025, has garnered 2 citations to date, its impact is growing as the procedure gains adoption in high-volume centers. Dr. Mandel’s work represents a paradigm shift from purely oncologic outcomes to patient-centered functional preservation, positioning him as a rising leader in urologic oncology. His meticulous approach to anatomical sparing has earned him recognition among peers, and his ongoing research continues to refine the hood technique, promising to set new standards for quality of life after prostate cancer surgery.
