About
Dr. Xia Sheng is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on improving functional outcomes after radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer. Her key research area centers on the anatomy and surgical preservation of Denonvilliers’ fascia, a structure she has identified as critical for post-operative urinary continence. In her landmark 2021 study, Dr. Sheng proposed the "fulcrum and hammock" theory, demonstrating that Denonvilliers’ fascia acts as a supportive sling for the urethral sphincter. By meticulously preserving this fascia during surgery, her multicenter cohort of 154 patients showed significantly improved rates of immediate continence. This work, which has garnered over 11 citations, provides a clear, anatomically-based explanation for a common and distressing complication of radical prostatectomy. Dr. Sheng’s contributions offer a practical, evidence-based surgical technique that directly enhances patients’ quality of life, making her a leading voice in the pursuit of "trifecta" outcomes—cancer control, continence, and potency—in prostate cancer surgery.
