About
Maria Angela Cerruto is a prominent urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on robot-assisted surgery, prostate cancer management, and surgical education. Her research has made meaningful contributions to the evolving field of minimally invasive urology, particularly in refining techniques and outcomes for patients with prostate cancer. Among her most notable recent contributions, Cerruto has pioneered investigations into PSMA-radioguided salvage surgery using the innovative SENSEI® drop-in gamma probe, exploring its feasibility for treating oligorecurrent prostate cancer — work that has already attracted 8 citations since its 2024 publication. Her research has also advanced risk stratification strategies, demonstrating the predictive value of Briganti's 2012 nomogram in intermediate-risk prostate cancer patients across a substantial cohort of 527 individuals treated with robotic surgery. Her analysis of 366 cases examining how surgical experience influences continence recovery following robotic prostatectomy further underscores her commitment to improving patient quality of life. Beyond the operating room, Cerruto has extended her expertise into surgical education, investigating the impact of nursing training in robotic-assisted surgery using the Kirkpatrick framework. This breadth — spanning cutting-edge surgical innovation, clinical outcomes research, and healthcare education — marks her as a versatile and impactful voice in contemporary urology.
