Gomez's cited work covers posterior urethroplasty after pelvic fracture urethral injury, including bulbar artery sparing and the timing of repair, and dorsal buccal graft reconstruction of the female urethra.P1P2P3P4

  1. Gomez RG, Campos RA, Velarde LG. "Reconstruction of pelvic fracture urethral injuries with sparing of the bulbar arteries." Urology. 2016;88:207–212. doi

    Bulbar artery sparing in pelvic fracture urethral injury repair (2016). Described mobilizing the bulb from one side to preserve at least one bulbar artery during anastomotic repair; all 26 patients were voiding normally and stricture free at a mean follow-up of 20 months. His 2025 long-term series of 127 vessel-sparing non-transecting posterior repairs reported 95% success at a median of 43 months, with no cuff erosion in the 14 men who later received an artificial urinary sphincter.P2
