About

Miriam Russo is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing surgical outcomes in high-risk prostate cancer, particularly through the lens of robotic-assisted techniques. Her research centers on refining robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) for patients traditionally considered poor surgical candidates, with a special emphasis on the extraperitoneal approach. In her highly cited 2023 study, Russo analyzed complications from extraperitoneal RARP in high-risk prostate cancer patients at a single high-volume center, demonstrating that the procedure is both safe and effective in carefully selected individuals. This work, which has already garnered 19 citations, addresses a critical gap in the literature, as most prior studies focused on transperitoneal RARP. By providing robust evidence for the extraperitoneal route, Russo has helped expand surgical options for high-risk patients, potentially reducing morbidity and improving recovery. Her contributions are shaping clinical guidelines and offering new hope for complex cases. As a rising voice in urologic oncology, Russo continues to push the boundaries of minimally invasive surgery, making her research essential reading for surgeons and trainees alike.
