About
Antonio Carbone is a urological surgeon and clinical researcher whose work sits at the intersection of minimally invasive surgery, oncology, and functional outcomes in urology. His research focuses primarily on prostate cancer treatment, benign prostatic hyperplasia, bladder cancer management, and pelvic floor reconstruction, with a particular emphasis on comparing surgical approaches to optimize patient outcomes and quality of life. Carbone's most influential contribution — a prospective multicenter randomized trial comparing Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) with minimally invasive simple prostatectomy for large-volume prostates — has garnered 55 citations and represents a landmark effort to establish evidence-based guidance for one of urology's most debated clinical questions. His work on radical prostatectomy spans multiple dimensions, including surgical device selection, urethral preservation, urinary continence prediction using quality-of-life instruments, and patient-reported satisfaction and decisional regret. Notably, Carbone has pioneered sustainability research in urology, co-authoring a 29-cited study examining the carbon footprint of laparoscopic versus robotic radical prostatectomy — a rare and forward-thinking contribution to environmentally conscious surgical practice. His breadth extends into bladder cancer, orthotopic neobladder management, and pelvic organ prolapse repair, reflecting a versatile and patient-centered research portfolio that continues to shape modern minimally invasive urological surgery.
