About
Lucas Regis is a leading urological surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on improving functional outcomes after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) for prostate cancer. His primary research areas include early urinary continence recovery, surgical technique optimization, and the use of preoperative imaging to predict postoperative function. Regis has made major contributions by demonstrating that posterior rhabdosphincter reconstruction significantly accelerates early continence recovery, as shown in his landmark randomized controlled trial (23 citations). He also pioneered the use of preoperative magnetic resonance imaging to identify patients likely to achieve rapid continence, with multiple studies (14 and 11 citations) confirming MRI’s predictive value. His systematic reviews on surgical variations for early continence (14 and 13 citations) have become essential references for urologists. Notably, Regis has used MRI to assess urethrovesical anastomosis position as a predictor of functional recovery, and his recent work on patient-reported outcome measures compares the effectiveness of active surveillance, RARP, and radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer. With over 80 cumulative citations, Regis’s research directly informs surgical practice, helping men recover urinary control faster after prostate cancer surgery.
