About

Karolina Sikorska is a distinguished urological researcher whose work centers on optimizing functional outcomes in prostate cancer surgery, particularly through nerve-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. Her major contributions focus on the critical role of periprostatic fascia preservation in reducing postoperative erectile dysfunction. In her most-cited 2018 study, she developed a predictive model demonstrating that the extent of intraoperative fascia preservation directly correlates with erectile function recovery, a finding that has garnered 17 citations and influenced surgical protocols. Her subsequent 2018 investigation further quantified the prognostic value of periprostatic fascia thickness, providing surgeons with evidence-based parameters to tailor nerve-sparing techniques. Sikorska’s research bridges the gap between surgical precision and patient quality of life, offering actionable insights that help men preserve sexual function after cancer treatment. Her work has been instrumental in advancing robotic-assisted surgical approaches, earning recognition among peers for its clinical relevance. By systematically analyzing anatomical factors, she has empowered urologists to make more informed intraoperative decisions, ultimately improving long-term outcomes for prostate cancer patients.
