About
Tiago Santos is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving functional outcomes after radical prostatectomy, with a particular focus on urinary continence recovery. His most cited study, published in 2024, investigates the role of anatomical parameters in continence following Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RS-RARP). In this work, Santos and his team identified membranous urethral length as the single independent predictor of urinary continence recovery at 12 months post-operatively—a finding that offers surgeons a concrete, modifiable target to enhance patient quality of life. By analyzing data from patients at 3, 6, and 12 months, the study provides a robust, longitudinal perspective on recovery patterns. With 6 citations already, this paper is gaining traction in the urology community for its practical implications. Santos’s research bridges surgical technique and patient-centered outcomes, making him a key voice in the ongoing effort to refine prostate cancer surgery. His work not only advances clinical knowledge but also directly informs preoperative counseling and surgical planning, helping patients set realistic expectations for continence recovery.
