About
Ahmet Tahra is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research centers on advancing robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) for prostate cancer treatment. His work has fundamentally reshaped surgical approaches to maximize oncological control while preserving patients' quality of life. Tahra’s landmark 2019 study comparing RARP with laparoscopic radical prostatectomy—cited 20 times—demonstrated superior functional outcomes with robotic techniques, establishing a new standard of care. He has been instrumental in developing and validating nerve-sparing innovations, particularly the Retzius-sparing and ultrapreservation anterior-sparing techniques, which dramatically improve early continence recovery. His 2022 and 2023 papers on these methods have garnered significant attention, with the ultrapreservation study showing exceptional promise for rapid return to urinary control. Beyond technique refinement, Tahra has pioneered risk models for preventing erectile dysfunction and positional nerve injuries during steep-Trendelenburg positioning, addressing critical perioperative safety concerns. With over 48 cumulative citations and multiple publications in 2025 alone, Tahra continues to lead clinical trials that balance aggressive cancer removal with meticulous preservation of sexual and urinary function, making him a vital voice in the evolution of minimally invasive prostate cancer surgery.
