About
Marco Sebben is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on robotic-assisted urological surgery, prostate cancer management, and pelvic lymph node dissection. Based at a high-volume surgical center, Sebben has made substantial contributions to optimizing outcomes in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), with particular focus on the technical refinements and complications associated with extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND). Among his most impactful contributions is his investigation of how body mass index and obesity influence surgical complications and lymph node metastasis detection, demonstrating that obesity independently predicts both Clavien-Dindo grade 3 complications and clinically undetected nodal disease. His anatomical work on Cloquet's nodes and Marcille's fossa has redefined how surgeons approach lymphadenectomy boundaries in prostate cancer staging. Sebben has also advanced perioperative care through a randomized controlled trial evaluating transversus abdominal plane blocks for postoperative pain management, and another questioning the routine use of surgical drains after RARP. His research extends to robotic bladder reconstruction, including intracorporeal neobladder techniques and bladder diverticulectomy. With his most-cited works accumulating hundreds of citations collectively, Sebben's output represents a meaningful contribution to evidence-based robotic urology.
