About
Dr. Antonio Luigi Pastore is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing surgical techniques for prostate cancer and benign prostatic enlargement (BPE), with a particular emphasis on improving patient quality of life and functional outcomes. His landmark 2018 prospective randomized trial (127 citations) demonstrated that Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy significantly improves immediate continence rates compared to the standard approach—a finding that has reshaped surgical practice. Dr. Pastore has also led pivotal multicenter studies comparing Holmium laser enucleation (HoLEP) with minimally invasive simple prostatectomy for large-volume prostates (≥120 mL), establishing evidence-based standards for surgical management. His innovative work extends beyond clinical outcomes; a notable 2023 study prospectively analyzed the environmental impact of laparoscopic versus robotic surgery on global climate, showcasing his holistic approach to healthcare. With over 300 citations across his most-cited works, Dr. Pastore has systematically addressed critical questions in urologic oncology—from predicting incontinence using the EORTC quality-of-life questionnaire to analyzing how operative time and blood loss affect surgical margins and functional recovery. His recent multicenter analysis of patient satisfaction and decision regret (2025) underscores his commitment to patient-centered care. Dr. Pastore’s research continues to define best practices in robotic and minimally invasive urologic surgery.
