About
Haoxin Ma is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving surgical outcomes for prostate cancer patients, with a particular focus on preserving quality of life. His primary research area is the refinement of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) techniques, specifically through the development and validation of the Retzius-sparing approach. Ma’s major contribution is demonstrating that this posterior surgical technique significantly accelerates the recovery of urinary continence compared to the conventional anterior method. His landmark 2020 randomized, controlled, single-blind trial, which has garnered 58 citations, provided robust, high-level evidence for this benefit, showing superior early continence rates sustained over a one-year follow-up. This work directly addresses a critical concern for patients facing prostate cancer surgery. Additionally, his earlier 2018 comparative study laid the groundwork for this research, establishing the feasibility and safety of the Retzius-sparing procedure. Through these influential studies, Haoxin Ma has helped shift surgical practice toward more nerve-sparing and function-preserving approaches, offering men a better chance at a swift return to normal urinary function after prostate cancer treatment.
