About
Rossella Orlando is a clinical researcher whose work centers on improving outcomes for prostate cancer patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Her primary research areas include surgical risk stratification, the impact of advanced age on prognosis, and the refinement of predictive tools for disease progression. Orlando’s major contributions include demonstrating that advanced age is an independent predictor of poorer prognosis in high-risk prostate cancer, with her most-cited paper (30 citations) establishing this link in a large single-center cohort. She has also shown that the American Society of Anesthesiologists’ physical status system can predict major postoperative complications, and that the 2012 Briganti nomogram effectively forecasts disease progression beyond lymph node involvement in intermediate- and high-risk patients. Her work on severe intraoperative bleeding as a predictor of blood transfusion needs has practical implications for surgical planning. With over 70 total citations across her publications, Orlando’s research provides actionable insights for clinicians treating elderly and high-risk patients. Her recent systematic review on near-infrared fluorescence in robot-assisted partial nephrectomy demonstrates her expanding expertise into renal surgery.
