About

D. Lorente is a urological researcher whose work centers on improving functional outcomes after robotic prostate cancer surgery. His primary research focus is the use of preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to predict early urinary continence recovery following robotic radical prostatectomy. His most-cited studies, including a 2018 paper with 14 citations and a 2019 follow-up with 11 citations, demonstrate that specific anatomical features visible on preoperative MRI—such as membranous urethral length and pelvic floor measurements—can reliably forecast a patient's likelihood of achieving early continence after surgery. This work has practical implications for surgical planning and patient counseling, helping surgeons tailor their nerve-sparing techniques and set realistic recovery expectations. By bridging radiological findings with postoperative quality-of-life outcomes, Lorente contributes to the growing field of precision medicine in urologic oncology. His research is particularly valuable for clinicians seeking to minimize the functional side effects of prostate cancer treatment, and his findings continue to inform preoperative risk stratification protocols in robotic prostatectomy programs.
