About
Bridget Krol is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on improving functional outcomes after prostate surgery. Her key research areas include robotic-assisted prostatectomy, erectile dysfunction, urinary incontinence, and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Krol’s major contributions center on innovative surgical techniques to accelerate recovery. Her most-cited study (8 citations) investigates the use of dehydrated human umbilical cord grafts during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, demonstrating a faster return to continence and potency by protecting the neurovascular bundle—a significant advance for patients facing post-surgical quality-of-life challenges. She also authored a comparative analysis (5 citations) of primary versus salvage robot-assisted simple prostatectomy for enlarged glands, providing critical guidance for managing lower urinary tract symptoms after failed endoscopic procedures. Her work bridges surgical innovation and patient-centered outcomes, offering evidence that can shorten recovery times and improve sexual and urinary function. Krol’s research is particularly valuable for urologists and patients navigating prostate cancer and BPH treatments, highlighting her role in advancing minimally invasive urologic care.
