About
Simone Pletto is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and complex prostate conditions. His primary research focus is the refinement and outcomes assessment of robot-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP) for large prostatic adenomas, a challenging patient population often underserved by traditional endoscopic approaches. Pletto’s most cited paper, published in 2022 from a high-volume robotic center, details the surgical technique and outcomes of RASP, demonstrating its safety, efficacy, and reproducibility. This work has garnered 11 citations, establishing a foundation for standardized protocols in robotic prostate surgery. Beyond this landmark study, Pletto contributes to the broader urologic literature on perioperative outcomes, complication management, and patient selection for robotic procedures. His research is notable for its practical, technique-oriented focus, directly informing surgical practice and training. By systematically reporting outcomes from a high-volume center, Pletto helps bridge the gap between innovation and widespread clinical adoption, making robotic prostate surgery more accessible and reliable for patients with large glands.
