About
Dr. Tania Processali is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on optimizing surgical outcomes for prostate cancer patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Her major contributions focus on refining extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND) techniques, including pioneering studies on the clinical significance of Cloquet’s nodes and Marcille’s fossa, demonstrating that these specific nodal basins can harbor high metastatic loads. She has also advanced perioperative care through randomized controlled trials showing that combining local anesthetic wound infiltration with transversus abdominis plane blocks significantly reduces postoperative pain and hospital stay, and that omitting surgical drains after RARP is safe. Her research on risk stratification has identified body mass index and PSA as independent predictors of complications and metastases, while her work on positive surgical margins has clarified their impact on biochemical recurrence. With numerous papers accumulating 15–39 citations each, Dr. Processali’s findings directly inform clinical protocols at high-volume centers, enhancing patient recovery and oncologic precision. Her practical guides for RARP after colorectal surgery further demonstrate her commitment to expanding surgical access for complex cases.
