About
Warick Delprado is a leading urological pathologist whose work has fundamentally shaped the surgical management of prostate cancer. His research centers on improving surgical precision and outcomes, particularly through the comparative analysis of radical prostatectomy techniques. Delprado’s landmark multinational study, comparing over 22,000 open, laparoscopic, and robot-assisted procedures (151 citations), provided critical, evidence-based insights into positive surgical margin rates, directly influencing global surgical practice. He is also renowned for his detailed analysis of the learning curve for experienced open surgeons transitioning to robotic surgery (104 citations), offering a practical roadmap for skill acquisition that has guided countless urologists. Beyond primary treatment, Delprado has pioneered work in salvage therapies for recurrent disease, including the use of PSMA PET/CT-guided robot-assisted lymphadenectomy and salvage radical prostatectomy following focal ablation. His contributions are vital for urologists and oncologists navigating the complexities of prostate cancer surgery, from optimizing first-line approaches to managing challenging recurrences with innovative, minimally invasive techniques.
