About
Dr. Angelica Grasso is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing robotic surgery for prostate and bladder cancer. Her major contributions include developing a novel statistical tool to predict extracapsular extension of prostate cancer, enabling safer, graded nerve-sparing during radical prostatectomy—a study cited 58 times. She has also been at the forefront of evaluating next-generation robotic platforms, publishing the first head-to-head comparison of the Hugo RAS and Versius CMR systems in a preclinical setting (13 citations) and the first case of robot-assisted radical cystectomy with intracorporeal neobladder using Hugo RAS (35 citations). Her research on salvage robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy for radiorecurrent cancer (40 citations) and the role of extended pelvic lymphadenectomy (17 citations) has shaped clinical decision-making. Dr. Grasso has also critically examined the educational value of live surgery, sparking important debate. With over 200 total citations across her most-cited works, she is recognized as a key voice in the evolution of minimally invasive urologic oncology, particularly in the adoption and assessment of emerging robotic systems.
