Giorgio Mazzon

About

Giorgio Mazzon is a leading urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing robotic surgery and improving outcomes for prostate cancer patients. His primary research areas include the refinement of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) techniques, the management of post-surgical complications, and the use of focal therapies for localized prostate cancer. Mazzon’s major contributions are evident in his highly cited 2017 review on learning curves for robotic surgery (71 citations), which has become a foundational resource for training surgeons and optimizing procedural safety. He has also pioneered the Retzius-sparing approach in RARP, demonstrating in a 2022 study that this technique independently predicts early recovery of urinary continence—a critical quality-of-life factor for patients. In challenging cases, Mazzon has explored innovative solutions, such as using the Memokath®045 stent for intractable bladder neck strictures (16 citations) and analyzing MRI-pathology concordance following salvage prostatectomy for recurrence after HIFU ablation (22 citations). His work bridges surgical precision with patient-centered outcomes, earning him recognition as a key figure in modern urologic oncology.
