About
Yomi Fashola is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on improving surgical outcomes for prostate cancer patients, particularly through the lens of robotic-assisted techniques. His research zeroes in on two critical challenges in radical prostatectomy: biochemical recurrence (BCR) and positive surgical margins (PSM). In his most cited study, published in 2015, Fashola examined risk factors for BCR after robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy, analyzing a single surgeon’s experience to identify predictors that could guide postoperative management—a study that has garnered 19 citations. His 2014 investigation into predictors of PSM, drawing on a robust cohort of 1,751 patients, explored how preoperative and pathologic factors, as well as surgeon variability and technique, influence the incidence and location of positive margins. With 13 citations, this work underscores the importance of surgical precision and individual surgeon skill in achieving optimal oncologic outcomes. Fashola’s contributions are vital for urologists seeking to refine robotic surgery protocols, reduce recurrence rates, and enhance patient quality of life, making him a notable voice in the evolution of prostate cancer care.
