About
Michael N. Ferrandino is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on refining surgical outcomes in prostate cancer care, with a particular focus on robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP). His major contributions include identifying predictors of prolonged operative time during robotic prostatectomy—a study that has garnered 28 citations and remains a key reference for understanding the learning curve associated with this common procedure. Ferrandino has also investigated the impact of body mass index on positive surgical margins, finding that obesity does not significantly affect margin rates or locations, and demonstrated that over half of contemporary clinical Gleason 8 biopsies are downgraded at final pathology—a finding with direct implications for treatment decision-making. His research extends to intraoperative factors, such as the effect of positive end-expiratory pressure on blood loss, and he has explored innovative approaches to mitigate post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence, including an absorbable urologic scaffold. With a career spanning over a decade, Ferrandino’s work has helped shape evidence-based practices in robotic prostate surgery, offering practical insights for surgeons and improved outcomes for patients.
