About
Youssef El Douaihy is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work has significantly advanced the field of robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), particularly in improving surgical precision and patient outcomes for prostate cancer. His primary research focuses on refining surgical techniques to reduce positive surgical margins and enhance functional recovery, especially continence, following prostatectomy. El Douaihy’s most cited work introduces the anatomical retro-apical technique—a novel synchronous approach to apical dissection during RARP that improves visualization of the prostatic apex and membranous urethra, directly addressing the challenge of apical margin positivity. This paper has garnered 74 citations, underscoring its impact on surgical practice. He has also contributed to understanding patient expectations and satisfaction post-surgery, as well as developing a technique for double-pigtail ureteral stenting to prevent ureteric orifice injury during RARP for large median lobes. Additionally, his involvement in a multi-institutional study on the surgical learning curve for robotic prostatectomy provides critical insights for training surgeons. Through these contributions, El Douaihy has helped shape safer, more effective robotic prostatectomy techniques, benefiting both surgeons and patients.
