About
Enric Carbonell is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving surgical outcomes for prostate and bladder cancers. His primary research areas include robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy, surgical margin assessment, and innovative intraoperative imaging techniques. Carbonell’s major contribution lies in refining our understanding of positive surgical margins (PSM) after prostate cancer surgery. His highly cited 2022 study, with 19 citations, demonstrated that not all PSMs carry the same risk of biochemical recurrence, showing that specific margin characteristics and their coexistence significantly impact prognosis—a finding that helps personalize postoperative surveillance and treatment decisions. More recently, Carbonell has pioneered the use of intravenous indocyanine green to evaluate distal ureteral vascularity during robot-assisted radical cystectomy, a technique that could reduce complications in urinary diversion procedures. His work bridges the gap between surgical technique and oncologic outcomes, offering practical insights for improving cancer control while minimizing morbidity. Carbonell’s research is particularly valuable for surgeons seeking to optimize margin clearance and for oncologists developing risk-stratified follow-up protocols.
