About
Dr. Anthony Pham is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on optimizing functional outcomes after robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP). His primary research area is the intersection of surgical technique and postoperative quality of life, with a specific focus on preserving urinary continence. Dr. Pham’s most significant contribution is his pioneering investigation into a risk-stratified, graded nerve-sparing approach during RALP. His landmark 2013 study in *European Urology*, which has garnered over 124 citations, demonstrated that tailoring the extent of nerve preservation based on preoperative risk factors can significantly accelerate the return of continence without compromising oncologic safety. This work provided a crucial evidence-based framework for surgeons, challenging the one-size-fits-all approach and highlighting the importance of individualized surgical planning. By systematically analyzing the relationship between nerve-sparing grade and early functional recovery, Dr. Pham has helped refine surgical protocols to improve patient outcomes. His research remains highly influential in urologic oncology, guiding both clinical practice and further studies aimed at minimizing the long-term side effects of prostate cancer surgery.
