About
Ilir Agalliu is a urologic researcher whose work centers on improving surgical outcomes for prostate and kidney cancers, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted techniques. His major contributions include identifying factors that predict urinary continence recovery after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, demonstrating that preoperative and intraoperative membranous urethral length measurements are key predictors—a finding published in his most cited paper (72 citations). He has also advanced understanding of surgical safety, showing that robotic pyeloplasty is effective for both primary and secondary repairs (55 citations) and that reduced blood loss during radical prostatectomy positively impacts functional outcomes and complication rates (37 citations). Agalliu’s research further explores the role of metabolic factors in cancer surgery, such as how visceral obesity affects minimally invasive partial nephrectomy (29 citations) and how low serum testosterone in middle-aged men influences prostate cancer pathology (13 citations). His work bridges surgical technique with patient-specific risk factors, offering actionable insights for clinicians. Through these studies, Agalliu has helped refine robotic urologic procedures, making them safer and more personalized, while contributing to the growing evidence base that guides modern prostate and kidney cancer care.
