About
Dr. P. Ditonno is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for urologic cancers, particularly through robotic-assisted approaches. His major contributions lie in refining surgical outcomes for bladder, prostate, and kidney cancers. Notably, he is a key contributor to the Italian Radical Cystectomy Registry (RIC), a landmark prospective study analyzing over 1,400 patients undergoing radical cystectomy for bladder cancer. This work, published in 2022 and cited 8 times, provides critical pre-operative data comparing robot-assisted, laparoscopic, and open surgical approaches, helping to standardize perioperative care. Dr. Ditonno has also pioneered a novel Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical perineal prostatectomy technique, offering potential benefits in preserving urinary function. Additionally, his multicenter analysis of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy for completely endophytic renal tumors demonstrates his expertise in tackling complex, high-risk cases. With a growing citation impact, Dr. Ditonno’s research is shaping evidence-based guidelines for robotic urologic oncology, improving patient outcomes through meticulous surgical innovation and large-scale registry data.
