About
Dr. Ricardo Munarriz is a leading urologist and sexual medicine specialist whose research has profoundly advanced the surgical management of erectile dysfunction, particularly in complex patient populations. His work focuses on penile prosthesis surgery, post-prostatectomy rehabilitation, and the intricate challenges of restoring sexual function after cancer treatment. A key contribution is his pioneering approach to intra-abdominal reservoir placement during penile prosthesis surgery in patients who have undergone robotically assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP)—a technique that addresses the anatomical difficulties posed by prior pelvic surgery. His landmark 2011 case report on this method, cited over 30 times, provides essential practical guidance for surgeons navigating post-RALP patients, demonstrating how to safely and effectively implant prosthetic devices in scarred, altered pelvic anatomy. Dr. Munarriz’s research has directly improved surgical outcomes and expanded treatment options for men with severe erectile dysfunction, bridging the gap between oncologic and reconstructive urology. His work remains a cornerstone for clinicians managing the growing population of prostate cancer survivors seeking restored quality of life.
