About
Dr. Vito Pansadoro is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose career has been defined by advancing minimally invasive and robotic-assisted approaches for the treatment of urologic cancers and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). His foundational work includes a highly cited study on muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (164 citations), which remains a key reference in the field. Dr. Pansadoro has been at the forefront of robotic surgery in Italy, authoring the first national survey on its adoption and contributing to the evolution of single-port and extrafascial robotic techniques for locally advanced prostate cancer. Beyond the operating room, he has critically examined the ethics and educational value of live surgery, a topic of ongoing debate. His recent comparative research on waterjet ablation therapy versus urethral-sparing robot-assisted simple prostatectomy for large-volume BPH reflects his commitment to balancing effective de-obstruction with functional preservation. With a portfolio spanning from high-impact clinical trials to ergonomic innovations in laparoscopic surgery, Dr. Pansadoro’s work has shaped modern urologic practice, earning him recognition as a leader in precision, patient-centered surgical care.
