About
Dr. Joanna Orzel is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on refining surgical techniques to improve patient quality of life after prostate cancer treatment. Her primary research areas include robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy, functional outcomes, and the prevention of post-surgical complications. Dr. Orzel’s major contribution is her pioneering investigation into the benefits of Retzius-sparing robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RS-RARP). Her most cited study, with 18 citations, provides critical evidence that RS-RARP not only preserves urinary function but also significantly reduces the incidence of penile shortening, Peyronie’s disease, and inguinal hernia sequelae compared to standard approaches. By demonstrating that sparing the dorsal vascular complex and pelvic fascia can mitigate these debilitating side effects, Dr. Orzel has advanced a more holistic, patient-centered surgical paradigm. Her work is highly influential among urologists seeking to optimize oncologic control while minimizing morbidity. Dr. Orzel’s research continues to shape best practices in robotic prostate surgery, offering men a better chance at maintaining their long-term physical health and well-being after treatment.
