About

Ignacio Moncada is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and penile cancer. His major contributions include pioneering the PISA technique (Pelvic and Inguinal Single-Site Approach) for lymph node dissection in penile cancer, a novel minimally invasive laparoscopic method that reduces morbidity. He has also systematically compared the safety and outcomes of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), notably in his highly cited 2019 review of RARP complications (7 citations), which serves as a key reference for surgeons. Moncada’s comparative studies on large-volume BPH treatments (HoLEP vs. robotic simple prostatectomy, 2025, 3 citations) and on simultaneous versus delayed penile prosthesis placement during RARP (2025, 2 citations) address critical gaps in functional recovery and quality of life. His research directly informs clinical decision-making, helping urologists optimize surgical approaches for complex cases. With a growing citation impact and a focus on patient-centered outcomes, Moncada is establishing himself as a leading voice in robotic and minimally invasive urologic oncology.
