About

Dr. Giacomo Galasso is a leading figure in urological surgery, renowned for pioneering advancements in minimally invasive techniques for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). His key research focuses on robot-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP), a field where he has made transformative contributions. In his seminal 2012 paper, "Robot‐assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP): does it make sense?"—which has garnered over 100 citations—Galasso critically evaluated the viability of RASP as an alternative to the traditional open simple prostatectomy (OSP), the long-standing gold standard for high-volume prostate adenomas. He demonstrated that RASP could achieve comparable functional outcomes while significantly reducing surgical invasiveness, thereby challenging established norms and expanding treatment options for patients. Beyond this landmark work, Galasso's research consistently emphasizes optimizing surgical precision and patient recovery. His studies have been instrumental in validating RASP's safety and efficacy, influencing clinical guidelines and inspiring a new generation of urologists to adopt robotic platforms. With a citation impact that underscores his influence, Galasso remains a key voice in urological innovation, bridging the gap between traditional open surgery and modern robotic-assisted care.
