About

Francesco Mastrangelo is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving functional outcomes in prostate cancer surgery, particularly through robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). His major contribution lies in systematically analyzing technical modifications that enhance early continence recovery after RARP—a critical quality-of-life concern for patients. In his highly cited 2025 literature review, Mastrangelo synthesized evidence on surgical refinements that preserve urinary control without compromising oncological efficacy, addressing the delicate balance between cancer eradication and post-operative function. While his citation count is still growing, his work has already informed surgical practice by highlighting reproducible techniques that minimize incontinence rates, which remain a significant challenge even in the robotic era. Mastrangelo’s research bridges the gap between technical innovation and patient-centered outcomes, offering practical guidance for surgeons seeking to optimize recovery. His focus on early continence—a metric that profoundly affects men’s quality of life—positions him as a key voice in the ongoing effort to refine prostate cancer treatment, ensuring that surgical advances translate into tangible benefits for patients.
