About
Joseph Rassam is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on optimizing functional recovery following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). His primary research areas include erectile function preservation, post-operative rehabilitation protocols, and the role of phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors (PDE5i) in early recovery. Rassam’s most significant contribution is his investigation into the timing of PDE5i therapy after RARP, demonstrating that immediate post-operative administration significantly improves early erectile function outcomes compared to delayed treatment. His 2021 paper on this topic, with 7 citations, provides critical evidence for urologists seeking to enhance patient quality of life after prostate cancer surgery. Rassam’s work also explores continence outcomes, offering a comprehensive view of post-surgical recovery. His research is notable for its prospective, single-surgeon data collection, ensuring clinical relevance and reproducibility. By addressing a key gap in post-prostatectomy care, Rassam’s findings have practical implications for surgical rehabilitation protocols, helping to set new standards for early intervention. His contributions are valuable for clinicians and researchers alike, advancing the understanding of how to maximize functional outcomes in prostate cancer survivors.
