About
Damiano Vizziello has made significant contributions to the field of urologic oncology, with a particular focus on optimizing surgical outcomes for prostate cancer patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). His research centers on three key areas: improving patient selection for surgery, refining nerve-sparing techniques to preserve functional outcomes, and validating risk-stratification tools for pelvic lymph node dissection. His most cited work, an external validation of the EAU guidelines for pelvic lymph node dissection (37 citations), helped confirm the accuracy of the Briganti nomogram in predicting lymph node invasion, directly influencing clinical decision-making. Vizziello also advanced the understanding of how surgical approach affects postoperative recovery, demonstrating that bilateral nerve-sparing RARP can optimize functional outcomes when patients are carefully selected. His detailed anatomical studies on prostatic fascial layers (3 citations) provided critical insights for preserving erectile function during surgery. More recently, he described the innovative “Shell” technique for robot-assisted intracorporeal orthotopic ileal neobladder reconstruction (2 citations), expanding the repertoire of minimally invasive reconstructive urology. Through these contributions, Vizziello has helped bridge the gap between evidence-based guidelines and personalized surgical care in prostate cancer treatment.
