About

Dr. Roger Li is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving outcomes for patients with urologic cancers, with a particular focus on prostate, bladder, and testicular malignancies. His most impactful contribution is a landmark 2010 study (154 citations) that redefined urinary continence after radical prostatectomy by correlating pad usage with patient-reported quality of life, establishing the "0 pads" standard that remains a benchmark in the field. Dr. Li has also advanced the understanding of post-prostatectomy incontinence through postoperative cystogram analysis (28 citations), identifying bladder neck location as a key predictor. A leader in minimally invasive surgery, he has pioneered robotic techniques for complex cases, including the first reported robotic nephroureterectomy in a patient with situs inversus totalis and robotic post-chemotherapy retroperitoneal lymph node dissection for testicular cancer. His research on extended pelvic lymph node dissection in both prostate and bladder cancers has helped refine surgical staging and treatment strategies. With additional studies on intraoperative conversion from partial to radical nephrectomy and comparative outcomes of robotic versus open cystectomy in women, Dr. Li continues to shape evidence-based urologic practice through innovative surgical approaches and rigorous outcomes research.
