Lina Posada Calderon

About

Dr. Lina Posada Calderon is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work centers on refining robotic-assisted surgical techniques to improve functional outcomes in prostate and bladder cancer care. Her research focuses on the intersection of surgical precision, neurovascular preservation, and patient quality of life. Dr. Posada Calderon’s most notable contribution is the development of the Posterior Approach to Endopelvic Neurovascular Total Sparing (PATENTS) technique for robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy. This innovative method prioritizes preservation of anterolateral periprostatic tissue, demonstrating significant improvements in erectile function recovery—a breakthrough that addresses a critical unmet need in prostate cancer survivorship. Her work on robot-assisted radical cystectomy further underscores her commitment to surgical quality, examining how surgeon experience directly impacts patient selection and outcomes. With over 5 citations on her seminal 2020 study and emerging recognition for her 2025 PATENTS paper, Dr. Posada Calderon is establishing herself as a rising leader in functional urologic oncology. Her research bridges technical innovation with patient-centered outcomes, offering hope for better quality of life after cancer treatment.
