About
Mirko Preto is a leading figure in urological surgery and sexual medicine, with a focused expertise in the surgical management of prostate cancer and the restoration of male sexual function. His research centers on the intersection of oncological outcomes and quality of life, particularly for patients with high-risk prostate cancer where nerve-sparing procedures are not viable. Preto’s major contribution is pioneering a novel, minimally invasive technique for placing the reservoir of a three-component penile prosthetic implant during robotic extra-aponeurotic radical prostatectomy (RALP). This approach, detailed in his highly cited 2016 work, allows for simultaneous cancer removal and sexual rehabilitation, circumventing the complications of delayed intra-abdominal reservoir placement. Though his citation count (4) reflects a niche but critical area, his work has direct, transformative impact on patient care, offering a definitive solution for restoring potency in preoperatively impotent men. Preto’s innovation is notable for its technical precision and patient-centered design, establishing a new standard for combined oncologic and reconstructive surgery. His research continues to influence urologists seeking to optimize functional recovery after radical prostatectomy.
