About

Jorge Fonseca is a surgeon-researcher advancing the frontiers of prostate cancer surgery, with a focused expertise in Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RS-RARP) and post-operative urinary continence recovery. His work bridges surgical technique, anatomical imaging, and patient outcomes. Fonseca’s key contributions include demonstrating that membranous urethral length is the single independent predictor of urinary continence at 12 months following RS-RARP—a finding that refines pre-operative counseling and surgical planning. He also pioneered the use of diffusion tensor-based fiber tracking to map the male urethral sphincter complex, establishing a novel feasibility method for understanding continence anatomy. Notably, his research shows that RS-RARP can achieve adequate oncological and functional outcomes even in medium-volume centers without prior experience, challenging assumptions that such techniques are only viable in high-volume institutions. With over 20 citations across his most-cited works, Fonseca’s impact is particularly significant for urologists seeking to implement nerve-sparing, continence-preserving approaches. His work directly addresses the patient’s primary concern—urinary incontinence—by linking surgeon experience, anatomical parameters, and recovery timelines, making him a valuable voice in the evolution of minimally invasive prostate cancer care.
