About
Morena Turco is a distinguished urological researcher whose work centers on enhancing surgical outcomes and quality of life for patients undergoing radical prostatectomy. Her primary research areas include functional recovery after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), urinary continence assessment, and the integration of electromyography (EMG) into urodynamic evaluation. Turco’s most notable contribution is the development of the uroflow stop test combined with electromyography, a novel index that objectively measures urinary continence recovery after RARP. This innovative approach, detailed in her 2019 paper (cited 15 times), provides surgeons with a reliable, non-invasive tool to track patient progress and refine postoperative care. Her work bridges the gap between traditional clinical metrics and advanced physiological monitoring, offering new insights into pelvic floor function. Turco’s research has been recognized for its practical impact, helping to standardize continence assessment and improve patient counseling. By combining surgical precision with patient-centered outcomes, she continues to advance the field of urological oncology, making her a key voice in the ongoing effort to optimize recovery after prostate cancer surgery.
