About
Dr. Diogo Assed Bastos is a leading urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing the surgical treatment of prostate cancer, with a particular focus on comparing robotic and open surgical techniques. His most impactful contribution is the landmark randomized clinical trial comparing robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) to open retropubic radical prostatectomy, which has already garnered 47 citations since its 2024 publication. This study, involving 354 men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer, provides crucial high-quality evidence on perioperative, oncological, and functional outcomes between the two approaches—addressing a long-standing gap in the literature. Dr. Bastos’s work is notable for its rigorous methodology in a field often dominated by observational studies, helping to clarify the real-world benefits and trade-offs of robotic surgery. His research directly informs clinical decision-making for surgeons and patients alike, and its rapid citation count underscores its immediate impact on urological practice. Through this pivotal trial, Dr. Bastos has established himself as a key voice in evidence-based surgical oncology.
