About
Agostino Mattei is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work has fundamentally shaped the adoption and refinement of minimally invasive and robotic surgical techniques in urologic oncology. His research spans radical prostatectomy, radical cystectomy, and partial nephrectomy, with a particular focus on optimizing outcomes through robotic-assisted approaches. Mattei's landmark 2010 prospective comparison of open and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (155 citations) provided early rigorous evidence guiding surgical practice during a pivotal transition period in urology. His contributions extend beyond operative technique — he has investigated often-overlooked dimensions of robotic surgery, including positioning-related injuries and rhabdomyolysis risk during steep Trendelenburg procedures, as well as the critical influence of surgeon learning curves on patient safety. His internationally collaborative research on radical cystectomy trends across North America and Europe demonstrates a commitment to broad, real-world evidence generation. Mattei has also advanced understanding of lymphatic management, comparing titanium clips versus bipolar coagulation in pelvic lymph node dissection (72 citations), and has explored frailty as a predictor of surgical outcomes. Together, his body of work, accumulating nearly 600 citations, reflects a career dedicated to evidence-based surgical innovation and patient safety in urologic cancer care.
