About
Dr. Sailantra Sivathasan is a urological surgeon whose research focuses on optimizing functional outcomes following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) for prostate cancer. His major contributions center on refining surgical techniques and post-operative care to improve erectile function and urinary continence without compromising oncological control. Notably, his 2021 study on incremental modifications to robotic prostatectomy demonstrated that aggregated marginal gains can significantly enhance functional outcomes—a finding that has garnered 9 citations and influenced surgical practice. Dr. Sivathasan has also pioneered work on immediate post-operative PDE5 inhibitor therapy, showing in a 7-citation study that early intervention improves erectile function after RARP. His comparative analysis of Retzius-sparing versus anterior approach RARP (6 citations) and his detailed learning curve analysis for the Retzius-sparing technique (3 citations) provide essential guidance for surgeons adopting these advanced methods. Through these studies, Dr. Sivathasan has established himself as a key contributor to evidence-based improvements in prostate cancer surgery, directly impacting patient quality of life.
