About
Dr. Xuwei Lu is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving functional outcomes after radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer. His most significant contribution is the innovative “fulcrum and hammock” theory of Denonvilliers’ fascia, which redefines the anatomical basis for post-surgical urinary continence. In his landmark 2021 study, Dr. Lu demonstrated that this fascia acts as a critical support structure, and that its precise preservation during surgery can dramatically reduce immediate incontinence. This work, which has garnered over 11 citations, provides a mechanistic explanation for a common and distressing complication, offering surgeons a clear, actionable target. By shifting the focus from nerve-sparing alone to fascial-sparing techniques, Dr. Lu’s research bridges the gap between surgical anatomy and patient quality of life. His findings are already influencing operative approaches in major centers, promising to improve continence recovery for thousands of men undergoing prostate cancer surgery. Dr. Lu’s work exemplifies how meticulous anatomical insight can directly translate into better patient outcomes.
