About
Vincenzo Petrozza is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving functional outcomes in prostate cancer surgery, particularly through minimally invasive techniques. His major contributions focus on optimizing recovery after laparoscopic and robotic radical prostatectomy, with a specific emphasis on urinary continence and nerve-sparing procedures. Petrozza’s 2013 prospective randomized study comparing radiofrequency and ultrasound scalpels in laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, cited 17 times, provided critical evidence on how surgical tools impact functional recovery. More recently, his 2024 multicenter prospective study, cited 6 times, established a direct correlation between the length of the spared urethra during robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy and early continence rates, offering a measurable target for surgeons to improve patient quality of life. By integrating preoperative MRI with histologic specimen measurements, Petrozza bridges imaging and surgical precision, advancing personalized approaches to prostate cancer care. His work is highly influential for urologists and researchers seeking to reduce post-surgical incontinence, a common and distressing complication. Petrozza’s dedication to evidence-based refinement of surgical techniques continues to shape best practices in robotic prostate surgery.
