About
Alberto De Gobbi is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on refining robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) for prostate cancer. His primary contributions lie in three key areas: patient selection for nerve-sparing surgery, intraoperative imaging, and robotic surgical training. His most cited work (73 citations) established a novel preoperative risk stratification for erectile function recovery after RARP, directly guiding clinical decisions to preserve potency. He pioneered the use of near-infrared fluorescence with indocyanine green during robotic nerve-sparing prostatectomy (40 citations), a technique that enhances visualization of critical neurovascular structures. De Gobbi also addressed a critical gap in surgical education by developing protocols for open conversion simulations during RARP (20 citations), providing formal guidance for managing this high-stakes scenario. His research on the bedside assistant's role (7 citations) further demonstrates his commitment to optimizing the entire surgical team's performance. Through these contributions, De Gobbi has advanced both the technical precision and safety of robotic prostate surgery, with his work cited over 140 times and directly impacting training curricula and patient outcomes worldwide.
