About
Ahmer Farooq is a urologic researcher whose work centers on sexual health outcomes following prostate cancer treatment, with a particular focus on erectile dysfunction management. His major contributions include characterizing real-world patterns of penile prosthesis implantation after radical prostatectomy, revealing significant disparities in surgical timing and access to definitive treatment for post-prostatectomy erectile dysfunction. Using statewide claims databases, Farooq has provided crucial epidemiological insights into how many patients ultimately require surgical intervention and when they receive it—data previously unavailable from nonrepresentative datasets. His 2020 study on this topic has accumulated 7 citations, establishing a foundation for understanding treatment delays and healthcare disparities in prosthetic urology. Beyond this work, Farooq’s research portfolio examines the intersection of surgical outcomes, health services utilization, and patient-centered care in urologic oncology. His findings carry important implications for counseling patients about realistic expectations after radical prostatectomy and for identifying systemic barriers to timely surgical management of erectile dysfunction, making his work valuable for both clinicians and health policy researchers.
