About
Agostino Fraia is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving outcomes for prostate cancer patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). His research focuses on three key areas: refining surgical techniques to enhance continence recovery, understanding the histopathological predictors of aggressive disease, and exploring metabolic factors that influence post-surgical quality of life. Fraia’s most cited study (2023, 13 citations) identified predictive factors for cribriform variant status and perineural invasion in the mpMRI era, offering critical guidance for surgical planning. His 2024 paper (7 citations) demonstrated that prostate-gland asymmetry significantly affects continence recovery in patients with small prostates—a finding that helps surgeons tailor their approach. Fraia has also investigated hemoglobin drop after RARP (5 citations) and the role of lipidic balance in erectile dysfunction (2 citations), introducing novel indices like the Atherogenic Index of Plasma to predict severe ED. His work bridges the gap between surgical precision and patient-centered outcomes, with each study contributing actionable insights for the urologic community. Fraia’s research at a single tertiary referral center underscores his commitment to evidence-based improvements in prostate cancer care.
