About

Jacques Farhi is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving functional outcomes after robotic prostatectomy and exploring novel applications of robotic surgery. His major contributions lie in the systematic assessment and optimization of urinary continence following robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP). Through the University of Virginia’s Prostatectomy Functional Outcomes Program (PFOP), Farhi has prospectively tracked patient-reported outcomes, identifying predictors of urgency and incontinence. His 2023 study on longitudinal urgency outcomes (4 citations) and his work comparing Retzius-sparing techniques to posterior urethral suspension (2024, 2 citations) provide evidence-based guidance for preserving post-surgical quality of life. Farhi has also extended robotic techniques to rare conditions, as demonstrated in his 2024 study on robot-assisted extravascular renal vein stent placements for Nutcracker syndrome (2 citations), showcasing his versatility. His research on the comparative effectiveness of supervised pelvic floor therapy versus unsupervised exercises (2023, 2 citations) directly informs clinical rehabilitation protocols. With a focused portfolio of high-impact, patient-centered studies, Farhi is advancing the precision of urologic oncology and functional restoration.
