About
Dr. Michael Jalfon is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on optimizing surgical outcomes for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), with a particular focus on holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP). His key research area lies at the intersection of preoperative imaging and postoperative functional recovery, specifically investigating how anatomical measurements from pelvic MRI can predict complications like urinary incontinence. In his most cited 2025 study, Dr. Jalfon demonstrated that anatomical dimensions of the prostate and membranous urethra—well-established predictors of incontinence after robotic prostatectomy—may also play a critical role in HoLEP outcomes, an area previously underexplored. This work has already garnered attention, with 2 citations in its early publication, signaling its potential to refine patient counseling and surgical planning. By bridging the gap between imaging biomarkers and functional results, Dr. Jalfon is contributing to a more personalized approach in BPH surgery, helping urologists identify high-risk patients preoperatively. His research promises to enhance the precision of HoLEP, ultimately improving quality of life for men undergoing this common procedure.
