About
Tommasangelo Petitti is a urologic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for prostate and bladder cancer, with a particular emphasis on robotic-assisted procedures. His key contributions center on refining surgical approaches to improve patient outcomes, including the development of robot-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP) for men with large prostates (>80 mL), where he introduced a novel technique involving temporary internal iliac arteries clamping to enhance safety and efficacy. In the realm of bladder cancer, Petitti has conducted landmark long-term comparisons between open and robotic radical cystectomy with intracorporeal neobladder, demonstrating the feasibility and potential advantages of the robotic approach in terms of perioperative, oncological, and functional outcomes. His work on robot-assisted radical cystectomy with colonic diversion further expands surgical options for patients. With over 10 citations across his most influential papers, Petitti’s research has helped establish robotic surgery as a reliable alternative to traditional open methods, contributing to reduced recovery times and improved quality of life for patients. His decade-long single-surgeon experience underscores his dedication to advancing urologic oncology through innovation and rigorous clinical evaluation.
