About
Dr. Sonny Smart is a urologic surgeon and researcher dedicated to refining robotic prostatectomy techniques to maximize functional recovery without compromising cancer control. His work centers on two critical post-surgical outcomes: erectile function and urinary continence. Dr. Smart’s most influential study, with 9 citations, demonstrates that incremental modifications to robotic prostatectomy technique can yield aggregated marginal gains, significantly improving functional outcomes while maintaining oncological safety. He has also made notable contributions to post-operative pharmacotherapy, showing that immediate use of PDE5 inhibitors after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) improves early erectile function outcomes. Dr. Smart has further advanced the field by comparing Retzius-sparing versus anterior approach RARP, and by analyzing the learning curve for the Retzius-sparing technique across 130 cases, providing valuable guidance for surgeons adopting this approach. His research, supported by prospective single-surgeon data, offers practical insights for optimizing patient recovery. With a focused portfolio of high-impact studies, Dr. Smart is shaping evidence-based practices in functional urologic oncology.
