About
Marcello Gambacorta is a leading figure in urologic oncology, renowned for pioneering advancements in robotic prostate cancer surgery. His primary research focuses on refining surgical techniques to optimize both oncologic control and functional outcomes, particularly through the Retzius-sparing approach for robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. Gambacorta’s seminal work, "Beyond the Learning Curve of the Retzius-sparing Approach," published in 2013 and cited over 260 times, established a critical benchmark by demonstrating that this technique preserves urinary continence and erectile function without compromising cancer clearance. By analyzing the first 200 patients with at least one year of follow-up, he provided robust evidence that the learning curve for this complex procedure is surmountable, yielding excellent results in experienced hands. His contributions have reshaped clinical practice, offering patients a less morbid path to recovery. Gambacorta’s research continues to influence surgical training and patient counseling, solidifying his reputation as a transformative innovator in minimally invasive urologic surgery.
