About
Dr. E. De Lorenzis is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for prostate and kidney cancers, with a particular focus on robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Their major contributions include developing a novel statistical tool to predict extracapsular extension (ECE) of prostate cancer, enabling safer, graded nerve-sparing approaches during radical prostatectomy—a tool that has garnered 58 citations for its clinical utility. Dr. De Lorenzis has also been instrumental in refining surgical protocols, such as demonstrating that extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND) during RARP significantly improves detection of lymph node invasion without increasing morbidity, a finding supported by multiple studies totaling over 100 citations. Their work extends beyond prostate cancer to include laparoscopic and robotic ureteral stenosis repair, with a multi-institutional study reporting long-term follow-up outcomes (39 citations). Notably, Dr. De Lorenzis has critically examined the educational value of live surgery in urology, sparking important ethical discussions (29 citations). With a portfolio of highly cited papers and recent investigations into microwave ablation for small renal masses, Dr. De Lorenzis continues to shape evidence-based practice in robotic urologic oncology.
