About
Andrea Salonia is a prominent urologist and sexual medicine specialist whose research has profoundly shaped the understanding and management of sexual dysfunction following prostate cancer treatment. Based at a leading tertiary referral center, Salonia has dedicated much of his career to investigating the complex interplay between radical prostatectomy and male sexual health, with particular focus on erectile dysfunction, orgasmic dysfunction, and diminished sexual desire as post-surgical consequences. His most influential contributions include landmark work on preventing and managing postprostatectomy sexual dysfunctions, which has garnered over 145 citations and helped establish clinical frameworks still referenced internationally. His involvement with the Fourth International Consultation for Sexual Medicine (ICSM 2015) underscores his global standing, as he co-authored consensus recommendations that guide practitioners worldwide. Salonia has also championed robot-assisted surgical techniques, examining their oncologic outcomes, functional benefits, and training implications across prostatectomy and partial nephrectomy settings. Notably, his research extends beyond purely physiological outcomes, exploring psychological dimensions such as depression and low sexual desire following surgery — a holistic approach that has enriched survivorship care. With a body of work accumulating hundreds of citations across urology and sexual medicine, Salonia remains an authoritative voice in optimizing patient quality of life after prostate cancer treatment.
