About
Angela Pecoraro is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for kidney and prostate cancers. Her major contributions lie in the systematic evaluation and refinement of robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy and radical prostatectomy, with a particular focus on optimizing clinical outcomes through three-dimensional (3D) modeling and anatomical reconstruction. Pecoraro’s most impactful work, a 2022 meta-analysis on 3D model-assisted partial nephrectomy (84 citations), has helped establish a new standard for surgical planning, demonstrating how virtual reconstructions can improve precision and reduce positive surgical margins. Her systematic reviews on robotic resection techniques (56 citations) and retroperitoneal approaches (53 citations) have provided critical evidence for best practices in nephron-sparing surgery. Pecoraro has also been at the forefront of evaluating single-port robotic platforms, contributing early pooled analyses that shape the adoption of this novel technology. Her work on anatomical reconstruction for continence recovery after prostatectomy (45 citations) has directly influenced surgical modifications that improve patient quality of life. With over 400 total citations across her top papers, Pecoraro’s research is essential reading for any surgeon or trainee seeking to understand the current state and future direction of robotic urologic oncology.
