About

Dr. HL Wong has made significant contributions to the field of urologic oncology, with a primary focus on improving functional outcomes following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) for prostate cancer. Their research centers on the critical balance between oncologic control and quality of life, specifically addressing the preservation of erectile function and urinary continence. Dr. Wong’s most cited work, "Effects of nerve sparing on erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy," highlights the pivotal role of nerve-sparing techniques in mitigating two of the most common and distressing side effects of prostate cancer surgery. This study, set against the backdrop of over 1.4 million new prostate cancer cases globally in 2020, underscores the urgent need for surgical approaches that minimize long-term morbidity. By systematically analyzing the impact of nerve preservation, Dr. Wong’s research provides evidence-based guidance for surgeons seeking to optimize patient outcomes. Their work is instrumental in advancing personalized surgical strategies, ultimately helping men maintain a better quality of life post-treatment. Dr. Wong’s contributions are vital for both clinicians and researchers dedicated to refining prostate cancer care.
