About
J. Marquinez is a surgeon-researcher whose work centers on advancing urologic oncology, with a particular focus on refining robotic surgical techniques for prostate cancer. His most notable contribution involves the innovative use of intra-operative indocyanine green (ICG) and Firefly® fluorescence technology to visualize the "landmark artery" during nerve-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. This technique, detailed in his 2015 paper, enhances surgical precision by allowing real-time identification of critical vascular structures, thereby helping to preserve erectile function and urinary continence—key quality-of-life outcomes for patients. While his most-cited work has garnered 7 citations, its impact lies in its practical application, offering a reproducible method that has been adopted in high-volume centers to improve nerve-sparing outcomes. Marquinez’s research bridges the gap between advanced imaging technology and surgical practice, demonstrating how fluorescence-guided surgery can reduce complications in complex pelvic procedures. His work is particularly valuable for trainees and practicing urologists seeking to optimize functional results in robotic prostatectomy, marking him as a contributor to the ongoing refinement of minimally invasive cancer surgery.
