About

Jorge Rebola is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing surgical techniques for prostate cancer, with a particular focus on improving postoperative quality of life. His primary research areas include Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RS-RARP), urinary continence recovery, and the influence of anatomical and surgeon-related factors on functional outcomes. Rebola’s major contributions include demonstrating that membranous urethral length is the single independent predictor of urinary continence recovery at 12 months following RS-RARP—a finding that helps surgeons tailor preoperative counseling and surgical planning. He has also shown that surgeon experience and center caseload significantly impact continence outcomes, and that RS-RARP can be safely implemented in medium-volume centers with adequate oncological and functional results. His most-cited works (7, 6, and 5 citations respectively) have collectively informed best practices in nerve-sparing and continence-preserving prostatectomy. Rebola’s research bridges the gap between high-volume academic centers and community practice, making advanced surgical techniques more accessible. His work is essential reading for urology trainees and researchers seeking to optimize recovery after prostate cancer surgery.
