About
Alfonso Santangelo is a urological researcher whose work centers on the perioperative outcomes and renal complications associated with robot-assisted radical prostatectomy in prostate cancer patients. His major contribution lies in systematically identifying the incidence and predictors of acute kidney injury (AKI) and acute kidney disease (AKD) following this minimally invasive procedure—a critical area given the growing adoption of robotic surgery. Through his landmark 2025 study, Santangelo provides evidence-based insights that help surgeons stratify risk and implement preventive strategies, directly impacting patient safety and postoperative renal function. While his most-cited paper has garnered 3 citations to date, its clinical relevance is underscored by its recent publication and the pressing need for data on robotic surgery’s renal effects. Santangelo’s work bridges urology and nephrology, offering a nuanced understanding of how surgical technique influences long-term kidney health. His findings are particularly valuable for clinicians navigating the balance between oncologic efficacy and organ preservation, positioning him as an emerging voice in the field of urologic oncology and perioperative medicine.
