About
Dr. Emanuele Zaffuto is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on optimizing surgical outcomes for prostate cancer, particularly through robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). His major contributions include refining patient selection for pelvic lymph node dissection, as demonstrated in his highly cited 2013 study (37 citations) that externally validated EAU guidelines for node dissection in RARP patients. Dr. Zaffuto has also advanced functional outcome preservation, notably through his 2014 work (22 citations) on optimizing patient selection to improve post-surgical continence and potency. His research on 30-day readmission predictors (20 citations) has helped reduce complications, while his 2017 review on new surgical approaches for high-risk and metastatic prostate cancer (11 citations) expanded treatment frontiers. Dr. Zaffuto’s expertise in fascial layer identification during nerve-sparing RARP has been critical for balancing oncologic control with functional recovery. With over 97 total citations across his key works, his findings directly inform clinical guidelines and surgical practice, making him a respected voice in robotic urologic oncology. His work continues to shape how surgeons minimize complications and maximize quality of life for prostate cancer patients.
