About
Dr. Wattanachai Ratanapornsompong is a urologic surgeon and researcher dedicated to improving functional outcomes in prostate cancer surgery. His primary research focuses on robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RARP), with a specific emphasis on preserving urinary continence and enhancing postoperative quality of life. His most notable contribution is a landmark randomized controlled trial examining the effect of puboprostatic ligament preservation during RARP on early continence. This 2020 study, which has garnered 4 citations, prospectively randomized 92 patients with localized prostate adenocarcinoma, demonstrating that ligament-sparing techniques can significantly accelerate the return to continence without compromising oncologic outcomes. Dr. Ratanapornsompong’s work addresses a critical patient concern—post-prostatectomy incontinence—by providing high-level evidence for a surgical modification that balances cancer control with functional preservation. His research is particularly valuable for urologic surgeons and trainees seeking to refine their robotic technique, offering a data-driven approach to improving patient recovery. Through this rigorous clinical trial, he has established himself as a key voice in the advancement of nerve-sparing and tissue-preserving strategies in robotic prostate surgery.
