About
Dr. Richard Naspro is a urological surgeon whose research focuses on improving outcomes in urological cancer surgery, particularly through the refinement of surgical techniques and the management of perioperative risks. His most impactful work, a systematic review and meta-analysis on procedure-specific risks of thrombosis and bleeding (126 citations), provides critical evidence for balancing venous thromboembolism (VTE) prevention against bleeding complications. This research directly informs clinical decision-making for thromboprophylaxis in urological cancer patients. Dr. Naspro is also a pioneer in minimally invasive surgery, contributing to the advancement of robotic-assisted techniques. His work on tension- and energy-free robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (70 citations) demonstrates his commitment to nerve-sparing approaches that preserve patient quality of life. Additionally, he has explored nerve-sparing laparoscopic cystectomy and compared outcomes between robotic and open radical prostatectomy, including extended pelvic lymph node dissection. Through these contributions, Dr. Naspro has helped shape modern urological oncology, balancing oncologic efficacy with functional preservation and patient safety.
