Marco De Sio

About

Dr. Marco De Sio is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), adrenal disease, and prostate cancer. His major contributions include landmark meta-analyses comparing robotic and laparoscopic adrenalectomy (206 citations) and robotic simple prostatectomy for large BPH (63 citations), which have helped define best practices in robotic urologic surgery. Dr. De Sio has also been instrumental in evaluating surgical trends and outcomes using large-scale U.S. databases, notably analyzing BPH surgery retreatment rates (41 citations) and urethral stricture management (24 citations). His systematic reviews on single-port robotic prostatectomy (40 citations) and partial nephrectomy (9 citations) highlight his forward-looking focus on next-generation surgical platforms. Beyond clinical research, Dr. De Sio has critically assessed laparoscopic training in urology (43 citations) and explored how the COVID-19 pandemic could catalyze positive changes in residency education (22 citations). With numerous high-impact publications and a consistent focus on evidence-based surgical innovation, Dr. De Sio is a respected voice in the evolution of robotic urology and surgical education.
