M. Sodano

About

Dr. M. Sodano is a prominent urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on nephron-sparing surgery, prostate cancer outcomes, and renal tumor complexity assessment. His most cited contribution, the RECORd 1 project (49 citations), provides a landmark prospective multicenter snapshot of nephron-sparing surgery practices across Italy, offering critical insights into clinical and perioperative outcomes. Dr. Sodano has also advanced the understanding of surgical oncology by comparing positive surgical margins and early oncological outcomes between robotic and open radical prostatectomy at medium case-load institutions (22 citations), demonstrating that robotic approaches can achieve comparable results. Further, he has validated and compared the Arterial-Based Complexity Score against established tools like the R.E.N.A.L. and PADUA scores and the C-index for renal tumor assessment (11 citations), enhancing preoperative planning. Through these contributions, Dr. Sodano has shaped evidence-based surgical decision-making in urologic oncology, with his work influencing both clinical practice and risk stratification for kidney and prostate cancers.
