About
Dr. Gerald Brock is a leading urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on the intersection of advanced surgical robotics, prostate cancer treatment, and the preservation of male sexual function. His major contributions lie in refining robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP) to improve patient outcomes, particularly regarding erectile function recovery. Dr. Brock was the lead author of a highly influential 2006 study (52 citations) detailing a novel combined transurethral and laparoscopic approach for bladder endometrioma, showcasing his innovative surgical techniques. He also spearheaded key predictive modeling from the randomized REACTT trial (28 citations), identifying factors that forecast erectile function return after nerve-sparing prostatectomy. His case series on robotic prostatectomy (14 citations) further advanced personalized surgical planning. Dr. Brock has also addressed the complex management of patients with preexisting penile prostheses undergoing RARP (12 citations) and has authored comprehensive reviews on penile rehabilitation post-prostate cancer treatment (8 citations). Through his pioneering work, Dr. Brock has significantly shaped the current state of the art in preserving quality of life for men undergoing prostate cancer surgery.
