About

Brian S.H. Ho is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving functional outcomes after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) for prostate cancer. His primary research areas include nerve-sparing surgical techniques, erectile dysfunction, and urinary incontinence—critical quality-of-life concerns for patients. Ho’s major contribution lies in systematically evaluating how nerve-sparing approaches during RARP can preserve sexual and urinary function without compromising oncologic control. His most-cited paper, "Effects of nerve sparing on erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy," published in 2025, synthesizes evidence from a global context where prostate cancer affects over 1.4 million men annually. Though early in its citation trajectory, this work has already informed surgical decision-making and patient counseling. Ho’s research is notable for bridging the gap between surgical precision and patient-centered outcomes, emphasizing that technical advancements must translate into tangible benefits. His achievements include advancing the evidence base for nerve-sparing protocols, which directly impact postoperative recovery and quality of life. For students and researchers, Ho exemplifies how rigorous clinical investigation can refine surgical practice and address the unmet needs of cancer survivors.
