About
Stefano Polesello is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on refining surgical techniques in robotic prostatectomy to improve patient functional outcomes. His primary research focuses on neurovascular bundle (NVB) preservation during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), a critical factor in postoperative erectile function and urinary continence. In his most cited study, "Predictors of deviation in neurovascular bundle preservation during robotic prostatectomy" (2019, 4 citations), Polesello identified key preoperative and intraoperative factors that cause surgeons to alter their planned NVB preservation approach. This work provides actionable insights for surgical planning, helping to reduce deviations and enhance nerve-sparing precision. His contributions bridge the gap between surgical intention and execution, directly impacting patient quality of life after prostate cancer treatment. While his citation count is modest, the clinical relevance of his findings is significant for practicing urologists and trainees. Polesello’s research underscores the importance of evidence-based adjustments in robotic surgery, making him a valuable voice in the ongoing effort to optimize functional recovery in prostate cancer patients.
