About
B. Morales is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on improving functional outcomes after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). His key research areas include postoperative continence and potency preservation, with a particular emphasis on the role of regional hypothermia during robotic surgery. In his 2010 study on the impact of regional hypothermia, Morales demonstrated that cooling the neurovascular bundles during RARP can significantly enhance early recovery of continence and erectile function—a finding that has influenced surgical protocols in minimally invasive prostate cancer treatment. He also developed a simple predictive model for return of pad-free continence in men undergoing RARP, providing clinicians with a practical tool to counsel patients on expected recovery timelines. While his citation counts (7 and 2 for his most-cited papers) reflect a focused, early-stage impact, his contributions are notable for their direct clinical applicability and patient-centered outcomes. Morales’ work bridges the gap between surgical technique and quality of life, offering evidence-based strategies to reduce the morbidity of prostate cancer surgery.
