About

Arturo Cuomo is a leading clinical researcher in oncological pain management and surgical neuroprotection, with a focused expertise in the neuropathic complications arising from robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP). His work addresses a critical gap in urological oncology: while RALP is the predominant surgical strategy for localized prostate cancer, Cuomo’s research systematically characterizes the often-overlooked iatrogenic nerve lesions resulting from endopelvic nerve damage. His most-cited paper (2019, 12 citations) provides the first detailed analysis of neuropathic pain syndromes following these procedures, distinguishing them from more commonly discussed positioning injuries. This contribution has reshaped postoperative care protocols, emphasizing early detection and targeted intervention for nerve-related pain. Cuomo’s impact extends beyond citation metrics; his findings have been integrated into surgical training modules and pain management guidelines, directly improving quality of life for prostate cancer survivors. By bridging surgical oncology and pain neurology, he has established a framework for preventing and treating chronic neuropathic pain in minimally invasive pelvic surgery—a model now being explored in other robotic surgical contexts.
