About

Lucia Pitoni is a surgical researcher whose work focuses on improving outcomes in urological and pelvic floor procedures, with a particular emphasis on nerve preservation and concurrent hernia management. Her key research areas include pudendal nerve entrapment, robotic-assisted prostate surgery, and the optimization of surgical techniques to reduce patient morbidity. Pitoni’s most cited paper, a 2024 systematic review on pudendal nerve neurolysis, synthesizes evidence on surgical efficacy for nerve entrapment—a condition often overlooked in pelvic pain management—garnering 8 citations and highlighting her role in advancing evidence-based approaches to complex neuropathies. Her 2023 study on simultaneous inguinal hernia repair during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (6 citations) demonstrates a practical innovation: addressing two common conditions in a single procedure, thereby reducing recovery time and surgical burden for prostate cancer patients. This work underscores her commitment to refining minimally invasive techniques. Pitoni’s contributions are particularly valuable for clinicians seeking to integrate nerve-sparing strategies with oncological surgery, and her systematic reviews provide critical benchmarks for future trials. Her research not only informs surgical practice but also bridges gaps in managing co-morbid pelvic conditions, making her a notable voice in urological and pelvic reconstructive surgery.
