About
Federico Lavagno is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work centers on advancing precision and outcomes in robot-assisted prostate cancer surgery. His research focuses on two critical areas: optimizing surgical techniques to preserve urinary continence and pioneering the integration of molecular imaging for real-time cancer detection. Lavagno’s major contributions include a refined lateral approach to bladder neck dissection during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), which, as shown in his 2024 pair-matched analysis, improves continence recovery without compromising surgical margins—a key balance in oncologic surgery. He has also broken new ground in radioguided surgery, demonstrating in a 2023 study how intraoperative PET-CT specimen imaging can assess PSMA-avid nodal metastases and surgical margins, achieving 12 citations for this innovative work. His 2024 paper on bladder neck techniques has already garnered 6 citations, reflecting growing interest in functional outcomes. Lavagno’s work is notable for translating cutting-edge imaging into the operating room, offering patients more precise cancer clearance while preserving quality of life. For students and researchers, his research exemplifies the future of tailored, image-guided urologic oncology.
