About
Antonella Zambon is a leading urological researcher whose work centers on improving functional outcomes following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RALP), with a particular focus on the rapid restoration of urinary continence. Her major contribution is the development and urodynamic validation of an innovative, autologous 6-branch suburethral sling technique. Using absorbable sutures and the patient’s own vas deferens, this procedure is designed to support the bladder neck and urethra during RALP, effectively reconstructing the sphincteric apparatus to prevent post-operative incontinence. In her seminal 2017 study, Zambon employed intraoperative retrograde perfusion sphincterometry to objectively quantify the sling’s efficacy, demonstrating a measurable improvement in sphincteric function. While her most-cited work has garnered 6 citations, its true impact lies in its pioneering approach to a common and distressing complication of prostate cancer surgery. By introducing a reproducible, autologous, and absorbable solution, Zambon has opened a promising new avenue for enhancing patients’ quality of life immediately after surgery, reducing the psychological and practical burden of prolonged incontinence.
