About

Federico Polverino is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving surgical outcomes in robot-assisted urologic oncology, particularly for prostate and bladder cancers. His major contributions focus on identifying predictive factors that enhance recovery and reduce complications after radical prostatectomy and cystectomy. Notably, his 2024 study on prostate-gland asymmetry demonstrated that this anatomical feature significantly impacts 3- and 12-month continence recovery after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), offering surgeons a preoperative MRI-based tool to counsel patients and tailor surgical approaches. With 7 citations, this work has quickly gained attention for its practical implications. Polverino has also investigated hemoglobin drop predictors after RARP (5 citations) and compared extracorporeal versus intracorporeal urinary diversion at robot-assisted cystectomy, shedding light on adverse in-hospital outcomes. His multicenter survey on proctoring in robot-assisted urologic surgery addresses the critical role of mentorship in skill dissemination. By examining outcomes in octogenarians undergoing radical cystectomy, he contributes to evidence-based care for elderly patients. Polverino’s research directly informs clinical decision-making, helping urologists optimize recovery and quality of life for cancer patients.
