About
Nicola Longo is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing robot-assisted surgical techniques for prostate and bladder cancers. His major contributions lie in refining postoperative outcomes, particularly continence recovery after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). In a pivotal 2024 study, he demonstrated that prostate-gland asymmetry significantly impacts 3- and 12-month continence recovery in patients with small prostates, a finding that has already garnered 7 citations and is reshaping preoperative counseling. Longo has also compared extracorporeal versus intracorporeal urinary diversion at robot-assisted cystectomy, identifying adverse in-hospital outcomes that guide surgical decision-making. His multicenter survey on proctoring in robot-assisted urologic surgery (4 citations) addresses critical training and quality assurance challenges. Additionally, his prospective RECORD2 project (3 citations) evaluates perioperative and mid-term outcomes after partial nephrectomy for entirely endophytic renal tumors, offering evidence-based strategies for these technically demanding cases. With a focus on elderly populations, Longo’s comparative studies of robot-assisted versus open cystectomy in octogenarians further highlight his commitment to optimizing care across age groups. His work consistently bridges technical innovation with tangible patient benefits, making him a key voice in modern urologic oncology.
