The doctor is an expert in lower urinary tract diseases, which includes the repair of prolapses, urinary incontinence in men and women, and the performance of cystectomies, among many other pathologies.

A brief history of the practice

Specialist in functional lower urinary tract disorders: urinary incontinence, neurourinary disorders, pelvic organ prolapse, and urological reconstruction. He currently practices at the University Hospital of Getafe (functional urology) and at ICUA Madrid (CEMTRO Clinic), where he performs HoLEP after training in the technique with Dr. Fernando Gómez Sancha. He previously trained in advanced laparoscopic surgery at the Saint Augustine Clinic in Bordeaux with Dr. Richard Gaston. He coordinated the Functional Urology and Renal Transplant Unit at La Paz Hospital (2018–2024) as a preliminary step. He is the principal investigator in an international clinical trial on nocturia and a co-investigator in the European SATURN registry on male urinary incontinence.

Current specialization

Dr. Gómez de Vicente specializes in the management of functional disorders of the lower urinary tract, which includes all bladder dysfunctions of neurological or idiopathic origin, pelvic organ support defects, urinary fistulas, and pelvic pain. This encompasses incontinence surgery for both men and women, vaginal or abdominal repair of pelvic organ prolapse, cystectomy, urinary diversion, ureteral reimplantation, and other procedures.

He collaborates as a lecturer in Urology at the Complutense University of Madrid in undergraduate education and as a professor of Master's degree in multidisciplinary approach to Prostate Cancer.

A member of the International Continence Society (ICS), the Ibero-American Society of Neurourology (SINUG), the Spanish Association of Urology (AEU), and the European Association of Urology (EAU), he teaches laparoscopic colposacropexy at the Jesús Usón Minimally Invasive Surgery Center in Cáceres. He contributed to the creation of the MIR (Medical Residency) and PROMIR (Preparatory Medical Residency) manuals published by Editorial Médica Panamericana. He has taught in the Master's Program in Pelvic Floor Surgery directed by Dr. Moreno and is currently a professor in the Expert Master's Program in the Management of the Female Urinary Tract at Alfonso X el Sabio University.

Diseases it treats

Prostate Cancer

It is the most common cancer in men, and it is curable if detected early. It is important to see a urologist annually starting at age 50 for early detection, and at age 40 if there is a family history.

Kidney Cancer

It's a tumor that initially causes few symptoms; the kidney is surrounded by a layer of fat that allows it to grow without causing any problems. Nowadays, it's detected during routine imaging studies (ultrasound, CT scan, MRI).

Bladder Cancer

Very common in patients who smoke or who smoked in their youth, it usually presents with blood in the urine and irritative urinary symptoms. 80% of cases are curable.

Testicular Cancer

It is a cancer that primarily affects young men. It can be of different types depending on the type of cell it affects, and its main symptom is the appearance of a painless lump in the testicle.

penile cancer

It is a rare cancer, curable when detected early; its detection is difficult in uncircumcised men; you should consult a doctor if you notice any lump or ulcer on the penis, discharge, or bleeding.

Techniques in which he specializes

Robotic surgery

The Da Vinci Robot allows surgery through small holes in the abdominal wall, increasing the surgeon's precision and ability to perform procedures with great delicacy.

Laparoscopic and robotic pyeloplasty

Laparoscopic or robotic pyeloplasty is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed to treat strictures at the junction between the renal pelvis and the ureter. The procedure reconstructs this junction to allow urine to flow…

Focal therapy for localized prostate cancer

A non-invasive technique that destroys cancerous tissue using various energy sources. HIFU treatment uses ultrasonic energy, or sound waves, to heat and destroy specific areas of prostate tissue. Cryotherapy uses cold with the same…

Prostate mapping

Fusion biopsy projects the prostate MRI images onto those obtained in real time in the operating room with ultrasound and allows the biopsy to be directed with great precision to the areas of suspicion of cancer.
