About
Dr. Catherine Pothier is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher specializing in robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and the preservation of post-surgical quality of life. Her work focuses on refining surgical techniques to improve functional outcomes for prostate cancer patients, particularly in the critical areas of erectile function recovery and urinary continence. Dr. Pothier’s most notable contributions include the development and validation of the posterior approach to endopelvic neurovascular total sparing (PATENTS) technique, which demonstrates significant promise in preserving sexual function by protecting anterolateral periprostatic tissue. Her multicenter research on pelvic fascia-sparing methods has also identified key factors associated with superior urinary continence recovery, offering evidence-based refinements to standard RARP protocols. With her recent 2025 publications already garnering citations, Dr. Pothier’s work is rapidly shaping best practices in urologic oncology. Her meticulous, patient-centered approach—balancing oncologic efficacy with functional preservation—positions her as an emerging authority in the field, directly addressing the concerns that matter most to patients facing prostate cancer surgery.
