Cathy Jenson

About

Dr. Cathy Jenson is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of robotic-assisted surgery for prostate and bladder cancers. Her primary research focuses on optimizing perioperative outcomes and accelerating functional recovery following radical prostatectomy. Dr. Jenson’s most impactful contributions include pioneering the use of dehydrated human amnion/chorion membrane grafts to speed the return of urinary continence and erectile function after nerve-sparing robotic prostatectomy (48 citations). She has also been instrumental in developing enhanced recovery protocols, demonstrating the safety and efficacy of same-day discharge (22 citations) and the use of transversus abdominis plane blocks to reduce postoperative pain and narcotic use (33 citations). Her work on salvage robotic prostatectomy has provided critical oncologic and functional outcome data from high-volume institutions (38 citations), while her studies on tissue biografts have significantly reduced anastomotic leak rates and catheter times. With over 200 cumulative citations, Dr. Jenson’s research has directly shaped modern surgical practice, improving patient quality of life and advancing the safety of live robotic surgery.
