About
Dr. William G. Simpson is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing surgical techniques for prostate cancer, with a particular focus on improving patient quality of life. His primary research area is the refinement of robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP), specifically through the development and validation of the Retzius-sparing approach. Dr. Simpson’s major contribution is demonstrating that this technique significantly enhances early postoperative continence outcomes compared to traditional methods, a finding supported by his landmark 2017 study on 100 consecutive patients (84 citations). He further expanded this work by investigating racial considerations in a larger cohort of 250 cases (2020, 15 citations), addressing disparities in surgical recovery. His research has directly influenced clinical practice, offering men a less invasive option with faster return to urinary control. With over 99 total citations, Dr. Simpson’s studies are foundational in urologic oncology, earning him recognition as a leader in nerve-sparing and continence-preserving surgery. His work continues to shape how surgeons approach prostatectomy, balancing oncologic efficacy with functional outcomes.
