About
Dr. Antonia Centemero is a leading urological researcher whose work centers on the intersection of pelvic floor physiology and surgical outcomes, particularly in the context of prostate cancer treatment. Her primary research areas include male urinary incontinence, perineal rehabilitation, and the biomechanical properties of pelvic support structures. Dr. Centemero’s most cited study, a 2012 pilot investigation with 30 citations, pioneered the use of the Beco perineometer to measure perineal body tone (PBT) and its correlation with continence recovery after radical prostatectomy. This work established a novel, quantifiable predictor for postoperative outcomes, shifting clinical focus toward preoperative pelvic floor assessment. Her contributions have been instrumental in advancing personalized rehabilitation protocols for prostate cancer survivors, directly impacting quality of life. By bridging surgical technique with physical therapy, Dr. Centemero has helped define a new standard for continence management. Her research continues to influence urologists and physiotherapists worldwide, underscoring the critical role of perineal tone in functional recovery.
