About
Dr. Alberto Saita is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing robotic-assisted surgery for kidney and prostate cancers. His major contributions lie in refining surgical techniques and predictive tools to improve patient outcomes. He has been instrumental in validating and simplifying nephrometry scoring systems, such as the PADUA score, to better predict surgical success in robot-assisted partial nephrectomy, with his multicenter study on complex tumors cited over 100 times. Dr. Saita has also pioneered the use of high-resolution micro-ultrasound to preoperatively predict extraprostatic extension of prostate cancer, a prospective study that has garnered 26 citations. His work on early catheter removal after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, demonstrated through a randomized trial (Ripreca Study, 25 citations), has directly enhanced postoperative recovery protocols. Additionally, he has investigated the impact of preoperative age on long-term renal function and the reliability of the da Vinci robotic system. Dr. Saita’s research, which includes external validation of nomograms for lymph node invasion and novel biomarkers like p2PSA for early biochemical recurrence detection, consistently shapes clinical practice in minimally invasive urologic oncology.
