About
Matthew Ercolani is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work has advanced the field of minimally invasive prostate cancer surgery, particularly robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). His research focuses on improving postoperative functional outcomes—specifically urinary continence and erectile function—through innovative surgical techniques and adjunctive therapies. Ercolani’s most cited study (21 citations) demonstrated that posterior urethral plate reconstruction significantly enhances early continence recovery after RARP, a finding that has informed surgical practice. In another notable contribution (11 citations), he pioneered the use of a hyaluronic acid-carboxymethylcellulose adhesion barrier on the neurovascular bundle, showing promise for earlier recovery of erectile function. His forward-looking review on Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES) and laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) (7 citations) helped chart the future trajectory of radical prostatectomy. By systematically evaluating and refining best-practice techniques, Ercolani has contributed to the evolution of less invasive, function-preserving prostate cancer surgery, directly impacting patient quality of life.
