About
Dr. Vito Lorusso is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work centers on advancing robotic-assisted surgery for bladder cancer, with a particular focus on optimizing oncologic outcomes while preserving quality of life. His major contributions lie in developing and refining techniques for robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) and intracorporeal neobladder reconstruction, procedures that are among the most technically demanding in urology. Notably, he authored the first detailed description of the “Shell” technique for orthotopic ileal neobladder creation, a method designed to simplify and standardize this complex reconstruction. Dr. Lorusso has also been a leading voice in sexual-sparing approaches, as evidenced by his step-by-step guide for female patients—a critical advancement in functional preservation. His work on safety and functional outcomes in female patients undergoing RARC with neobladder diversion has further shaped clinical practice. With his most cited papers accumulating over 25 citations, Dr. Lorusso’s research is steadily influencing the field. He has also demonstrated the versatility of robotic surgery by applying it to rare tumors, such as in his resection of an abdominoperineal angiomyofibroblastoma. Through these efforts, Dr. Lorusso is helping to push the boundaries of what is possible in minimally invasive urologic oncology.
