M V Yurova

About

Dr. M.V. Yurova is a leading urological surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on improving functional outcomes after radical prostatectomy (RP) for prostate cancer. Her research centers on the critical challenge of preserving patients' quality of life—specifically erectile function and urinary continence—following surgical treatment. Dr. Yurova has made significant contributions by systematically comparing different surgical approaches, including robotic, transperitoneal, and extraperitoneoscopic techniques, to determine which methods best preserve potency and continence without compromising oncological control. Her seminal 2018 paper on erectile dysfunction after radical prostatectomy (7 citations) provides a comprehensive analysis of nerve-sparing techniques and their impact on postoperative erectile function, addressing a complication affecting 25-75% of patients. Her complementary 2018 study comparing functional and early oncological outcomes across surgical platforms (6 citations) offers crucial evidence for surgical decision-making. Dr. Yurova's work directly informs clinical practice, helping surgeons select the most appropriate approach to maximize both cancer control and postoperative quality of life for their patients.
