About
Wenceslao Villamil is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing the surgical management of prostate cancer, particularly through robotic-assisted techniques. His major contributions center on improving outcomes for patients undergoing radical prostatectomy, with a special emphasis on salvage procedures after failed radiotherapy. In his highly cited 2020 study (17 citations), Villamil compared open and robotic salvage radical prostatectomy, providing critical evidence on predictors of success and postoperative urinary incontinence. More recently, he has pioneered the application of artificial intelligence in urologic oncology, developing a predictive model for early biochemical recurrence after robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (2025, 4 citations). His landmark 2024 study, documenting 15-year oncologic and functional outcomes from a Latin American referral center (2 citations), represents one of the longest follow-up series in the region, demonstrating the durability and safety of robot-assisted surgery. Villamil’s work bridges cutting-edge technology with real-world clinical practice, offering actionable insights for surgeons and hope for patients facing high-risk prostate cancer.
