About

Hassan Kadhim is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving functional outcomes after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, with a particular focus on optimizing postoperative urinary continence. His most cited study, "Retzius-sparing technique independently predicts early recovery of urinary continence after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy" (2022, 12 citations), provides compelling evidence that preserving the Retzius space during robotic surgery significantly accelerates the return of continence compared to conventional approaches. This contribution addresses a critical quality-of-life concern for prostate cancer patients, offering surgeons a validated, nerve-sparing alternative that reduces the psychological and physical burden of incontinence. Kadhim’s research bridges surgical technique and patient-centered outcomes, demonstrating that meticulous anatomical preservation can yield measurable clinical benefits. His work has been cited in subsequent studies on robotic prostatectomy outcomes, underscoring its relevance to the evolving field of functional urology. By quantifying the independent predictive value of the Retzius-sparing approach, Kadhim has helped refine surgical decision-making, making him a valuable voice in the ongoing effort to balance oncologic control with postoperative recovery.
