About

Dr. Kaitlyn Mola Alcantara is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Her most-cited study, "Aquablation for BPH" (2020), provides a critical introduction to the safety and efficacy of robotically guided waterjet-based prostate resection—a novel technique that uses high-velocity saline to precisely remove obstructive prostate tissue while preserving surrounding structures. This work characterizes key procedure variables and outcome data, establishing Aquablation as a promising alternative to traditional surgical approaches for men with lower urinary tract symptoms due to BPH. Though early in her citation trajectory, her contributions are foundational to a rapidly evolving field, offering patients reduced recovery times and fewer side effects. Dr. Alcantara’s research bridges cutting-edge robotics and urologic care, positioning her as an emerging leader in the shift toward personalized, less invasive interventions. Her dedication to rigorous clinical evaluation ensures that new technologies are both safe and effective, making her a vital voice in modern urology.
