About
Alessandro Sandulli is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on optimizing surgical outcomes for renal cell carcinoma, particularly through minimally invasive techniques. His major contributions lie in the comparative effectiveness of partial versus radical nephrectomy in challenging patient populations. Notably, his landmark study from the RECORd2 project, with 14 citations, provides critical evidence that laparoscopic and robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (LPN/RAPN) offer superior long-term functional outcomes over radical nephrectomy in obese patients, without compromising oncologic control. Sandulli also specializes in the management of renal tumors in solitary kidneys, demonstrating through his 2025 prospective study that robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) achieves an optimal balance between cancer clearance and renal function preservation in this high-risk group. His work has been instrumental in shifting clinical practice toward nephron-sparing surgery, even in anatomically complex cases. With a focus on perioperative safety and long-term functional recovery, Sandulli’s research directly impacts surgical decision-making, helping urologists tailor treatments to individual patient needs. His contributions continue to define best practices in minimally invasive urologic oncology.
