About
Vincenzo Lacola is a urologic surgeon and clinical researcher whose work focuses on improving outcomes in prostate cancer surgery, particularly through the comparative evaluation of open and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). His research centers on identifying modifiable risk factors for perioperative complications, with a strong emphasis on surgical safety and quality improvement. In his most-cited study, a retrospective analysis of 1,062 consecutive patients treated at a high-volume tertiary referral center, Lacola systematically investigated predictors of major complications following both open and robot-assisted approaches, providing critical data to guide surgical decision-making. His subsequent work zeroed in on intraoperative bleeding as a key determinant of perioperative blood transfusion risk after RARP, demonstrating its downstream impact on hospital length of stay and postoperative morbidity. With over 20 citations across his top papers, Lacola’s contributions are shaping evidence-based protocols for safer prostate cancer surgery. His research is particularly valuable for surgeons and trainees seeking to optimize patient selection and intraoperative management in high-volume robotic surgery settings.
