About
Giorgio Gandaglia is a prominent urological surgeon and researcher whose work has fundamentally shaped our understanding of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and minimally invasive urological oncology. Based primarily at a high-volume European center, Gandaglia has built an exceptional body of research focusing on prostate cancer surgery, surgical learning curves, and comparative surgical outcomes. His most influential contributions include landmark comparative effectiveness studies between robotic and open radical prostatectomy, garnering over 200 citations and helping establish the evidence base during RARP's rapid clinical dissemination. Gandaglia has uniquely quantified how surgeon experience influences both oncologic outcomes and urinary continence recovery, providing critical guidance for surgical training programs worldwide. His work on high-risk and locally advanced prostate cancer treated robotically — drawing on multicenter datasets of over 1,100 patients — has expanded the accepted indications for minimally invasive approaches. Beyond prostate cancer, he has contributed meaningfully to benign prostatic hyperplasia management and ureteral reconstruction. His pioneering 2022 prospective study on PSMA radioguided surgery during lymph node dissection represents a forward-looking integration of nuclear medicine with robotic surgery. Collectively, his research portfolio, with papers accumulating over 1,000 citations, has made him an authoritative voice in contemporary uro-oncological surgery.
