About
Onofrio Antonio Rera is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing surgical techniques for prostate cancer and pelvic floor disorders, with a particular emphasis on robotic-assisted procedures. His most impactful study, "The impact of radical prostatectomy on global climate" (29 citations), takes an innovative, interdisciplinary approach by examining the environmental footprint of laparoscopic versus robotic surgery—a novel contribution that bridges sustainability and surgical practice. Rera’s core research centers on improving functional outcomes after radical prostatectomy, as demonstrated in his prospective multicenter study correlating preserved urethral length with early continence recovery (6 citations). He has also investigated nerve-sparing techniques, comparing cold versus thermal dissection to minimize damage to neurovascular bundles during robotic radical prostatectomy. Beyond oncology, Rera has contributed to female pelvic medicine, evaluating bowel function after robot-assisted sacrocolpopexy versus trans-vaginal prolapse repair. His work consistently integrates rigorous comparative methodology with clinically relevant endpoints, aiming to refine surgical precision while reducing complications. With a growing citation footprint and publications spanning 2023–2025, Rera is establishing himself as a thoughtful innovator in minimally invasive urologic surgery.
