About
Dr. F. Pastore is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for bladder cancer, particularly through robotic-assisted procedures. His major contributions lie in refining and validating robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) with intracorporeal urinary diversion, a complex operation that reduces recovery times and complications compared to traditional open surgery. His most-cited study, a prospective evaluation of early and late complications following RARC with mechanical stapler reconstruction, has garnered 10 citations and provides critical safety and efficacy data for this evolving technique. This work directly addresses the challenge of making radical cystectomy—the gold standard for muscle-invasive and high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer—less invasive and more accessible. Dr. Pastore’s research is instrumental in shaping modern urologic oncology, offering evidence that supports the broader adoption of robotic approaches. His findings have practical implications for improving patient outcomes, reducing hospital stays, and lowering morbidity, making him a key figure in the shift toward robotic surgery in urology.
