About
Eduardo Hernandez‐Cardona is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing robotic-assisted surgical techniques, particularly for prostate cancer. His major contributions focus on optimizing oncologic and functional outcomes in high-stakes procedures, such as nerve-sparing salvage robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) for recurrent cancer. He has demonstrated that preserving neurovascular bundles during salvage surgery is both feasible and beneficial, significantly improving postoperative potency and continence without compromising cancer control. Hernandez‐Cardona also pioneered the use of dehydrated human amnion/chorion membrane to accelerate recovery of erectile function after nerve-sparing RARP, a finding supported by a propensity score-matched analysis (48 citations). His research further validates the safety of concurrent inguinal hernia repair during robotic prostatectomy and the overall safety of live robotic surgery (20 citations). With multiple high-impact studies from two high-volume institutions, his work has collectively garnered over 170 citations, establishing him as a key figure in refining robotic urologic oncology and enhancing patient quality of life after complex surgical interventions.
