About
Dr. Fernanda Gabrigna Berto is a urologic surgeon whose research centers on advancing surgical treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and lower urinary tract symptoms. Her major contributions lie in comparative effectiveness studies of simple prostatectomy techniques, particularly evaluating outcomes between traditional open surgery and modern robotic-assisted approaches. Her most cited work, a 2021 retrospective case-control series comparing open and robotic simple prostatectomy, has garnered 7 citations and provides critical evidence for surgical decision-making in men with large prostates. This research helps clarify the trade-offs between minimally invasive and conventional approaches, directly impacting clinical practice. Dr. Berto’s work addresses the growing need for data-driven comparisons as robotic surgery becomes more prevalent, offering insights into operative times, complication rates, and functional outcomes. Her contributions are especially valuable for urology trainees and practicing surgeons seeking to optimize patient selection and surgical technique. Through methodical retrospective analyses, she continues to build the evidence base for prostate surgery, bridging the gap between emerging technology and established gold-standard procedures.
