About
Dr. Antonio Cardi is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on refining surgical techniques and improving patient outcomes in prostate cancer and bladder reconstruction. His major contributions focus on optimizing the perioperative management of robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP), where he has pioneered protocols for early catheter removal. His 2017 feasibility study and subsequent 2018 paper on removing the urinary catheter on post-operative day 2 have helped challenge traditional recovery timelines, aiming to reduce patient discomfort and length of stay without compromising safety. In the realm of prostate cancer, Dr. Cardi’s 2017 study on prostate-specific antigen density demonstrated its value as a predictor of tumor upstaging and upgrading under the new grading system, a finding that aids in more accurate risk stratification. His expertise extends to robotic surgery for large prostatic adenomas and the urodynamic assessment of orthotopic neobladders, where he advocates for body image preservation and quality of life after radical cystectomy. With over 58 citations across his most-cited works, Dr. Cardi’s research from a high-volume robotic center continues to shape evidence-based practices in urologic oncology.
