About
Dr. Thiago Borges Marques Santana is a leading urologic oncologist whose research centers on optimizing surgical outcomes in robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) for prostate cancer. His major contributions include pioneering a clipless nerve-sparing technique that improves functional recovery, as demonstrated in a landmark study of 1,088 procedures (17 citations). He has also advanced the field through rigorous cost-effectiveness analyses comparing robotic versus retropubic approaches (14 citations), and by using propensity score matching to clarify that obesity does not independently worsen post-surgical urinary continence (12 citations). Dr. Santana’s work at a high-volume cancer center provides critical, real-world evidence for surgical decision-making. His research on rare complications, such as pelvic pseudoaneurysm causing severe hematuria, further underscores his commitment to comprehensive patient safety. With a cumulative impact of over 45 citations across his most-cited papers, Dr. Santana is shaping evidence-based practice in robotic urologic surgery, offering students and researchers a model of how high-volume clinical data can refine surgical techniques and improve quality of life for prostate cancer patients.
