About
Cesare Saitta is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on optimizing outcomes in robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN), particularly regarding long-term kidney function. His major contributions center on identifying preoperative and intraoperative factors that predict renal functional decline after nephron-sparing surgery. In his most-cited work (7 citations), Saitta demonstrated that advanced patient age significantly increases the risk of progression to moderate or severe chronic kidney disease following RAPN, providing crucial data for surgical counseling. He further showed that the Mayo Adhesive Probability score and elevated BMI independently compound this risk, helping surgeons stratify patients preoperatively. Saitta has also investigated the technical aspects of renorrhaphy, revealing that the number of inner and outer stitches placed during reconstruction directly impacts postoperative functional outcomes. His prospective, single-center studies from a tertiary referral center have been published in leading urology journals, including the *Journal of Urology*. By bridging surgical technique with patient-specific risk factors, Saitta’s work offers actionable insights for personalizing partial nephrectomy, ultimately aiming to preserve renal function and improve long-term quality of life for kidney cancer patients.
