About
Dr. Jessica Helon is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work is transforming the surgical management of benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). Her primary research focus is on optimizing outcomes for patients with large-gland BPH, a condition that has traditionally required highly invasive procedures. Dr. Helon’s most impactful contribution is a landmark 2022 study comparing holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP), open simple prostatectomy, and robotic simple prostatectomy. This work, which has garnered 36 citations, provides crucial, evidence-based guidance for surgeons selecting the safest and most effective approach for complex cases. By systematically analyzing outcomes across these three modalities, she has helped establish HoLEP as a minimally invasive alternative with comparable efficacy to open surgery, while also defining the emerging role of robotic techniques. Her research directly informs clinical decision-making, reducing patient morbidity and recovery times. Dr. Helon’s dedication to rigorous comparative effectiveness research continues to shape best practices in urologic surgery, making her a vital voice in the field of prostate care.
