About
Dr. Dutsadee Sowanthip is a urologic surgeon whose research focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes in robot-assisted procedures for prostate and bladder cancers. Her major contributions center on refining patient selection and surgical techniques to improve functional recovery and oncologic control. In a landmark 2023 study, she compared pentafecta outcomes—a composite of continence, potency, cancer control, negative surgical margins, and complication avoidance—between nerve-sparing and non-nerve-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Using propensity score matching, her work demonstrated that nerve-sparing approaches significantly enhance pentafecta achievement without compromising cancer control, a finding that has shaped surgical decision-making and earned 24 citations. Dr. Sowanthip has also advanced geriatric urologic oncology, investigating the safety and efficacy of robot-assisted radical cystectomy with intracorporeal ileal conduit in older versus younger patients. Her research provides critical evidence that advanced age alone should not preclude patients from receiving minimally invasive, high-quality surgical care. By systematically evaluating functional outcomes and complication profiles, Dr. Sowanthip’s work directly informs clinical practice, helping surgeons tailor robot-assisted procedures to individual patient needs and improve quality of life after major urologic cancer surgery.
