About
Simona Fisogni is a dedicated urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on refining surgical techniques in prostate cancer care, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RALP). Her research addresses critical intraoperative decisions that directly impact patient outcomes, such as the management of positive surgical margins (PSM) and the timing of dorsal vascular complex ligature. In her most cited study (22 citations), Fisogni compared PSM rates between robotic and open radical prostatectomy at a medium-case-load institution, providing valuable evidence that robotic surgery can achieve oncological outcomes comparable to traditional open approaches, even in non-high-volume centers. She further advanced the field with a randomized controlled trial (14 citations) investigating standard versus delayed ligature of the dorsal vascular complex, offering data-driven guidance for optimizing surgical precision and reducing complications. Fisogni’s contributions are particularly significant for surgeons in medium-volume settings, demonstrating that careful technique and evidence-based refinements can elevate care quality. Her work underscores the importance of rigorous comparative studies in robotic surgery, helping to standardize best practices and improve early oncological outcomes for prostate cancer patients.
