About
Pasquale Cardone is a urologic surgeon whose research centers on optimizing perioperative outcomes in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, with a particular focus on reducing catheterization times and improving patient recovery. His most-cited work, the "Ripreca Study" (2018), is a prospective, single-institutional randomized trial that demonstrated the safety and efficacy of early catheter removal after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. This study, which has garnered 25 citations, provides evidence-based guidance for shortening postoperative catheter duration without increasing complications, thereby enhancing patient comfort and reducing hospital stays. Cardone’s contributions are significant in the field of minimally invasive urologic oncology, where he addresses practical, patient-centered questions that directly impact clinical protocols. His research reflects a commitment to evidence-based surgical innovation, helping to refine recovery pathways for men undergoing prostate cancer surgery. By challenging traditional catheter management practices, Cardone has influenced urologic care, offering a template for future trials and clinical guidelines. His work is particularly valuable for trainees and clinicians seeking to balance surgical efficacy with quality-of-life outcomes.
