About
Dr. Mateus Silva Santos Costa is a leading urologic oncologist whose research has fundamentally shaped the evidence base for prostate cancer surgery. His landmark systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials, comparing minimally invasive radical prostatectomy to open surgery, is a definitive work in the field. This highly cited 2025 study demonstrated that while minimally invasive approaches significantly reduce intraoperative blood loss and transfusion rates, they achieve equivalent outcomes in urinary continence, erectile function, and long-term cancer control. By rigorously synthesizing the highest level of evidence, Dr. Costa provided surgeons and patients with critical data for shared decision-making, challenging assumptions about the superiority of one technique over another. His work has directly influenced clinical guidelines and surgical practice worldwide, emphasizing that patient selection and surgeon expertise may matter more than the approach itself. With his research accumulating citations rapidly, Dr. Costa continues to drive progress in urologic oncology, focusing on optimizing surgical outcomes and quality of life for men with prostate cancer.
