About

Eugenio Ventimiglia is a leading urological researcher whose work focuses on the neglected side effects of radical prostatectomy, particularly the impact of surgical technique on long-term sexual function and quality of life. His research has been instrumental in moving beyond the traditional focus on erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence to explore less frequently assessed outcomes, including orgasmic dysfunction, depressive symptoms, and penile morphometric alterations. Ventimiglia’s most cited paper, “Orgasmic Dysfunction After Robot-assisted Versus Open Radical Prostatectomy” (2015, 48 citations), established a critical comparison between surgical approaches, revealing that robot-assisted surgery may be associated with distinct patterns of orgasmic impairment. His subsequent work, including a 2017 study on depressive symptoms and low sexual desire (33 citations), analyzed a large cohort of 811 patients to demonstrate the interplay between psychological and sexual health after prostate cancer treatment. By systematically documenting these “neglected side effects,” Ventimiglia has provided clinicians with a more comprehensive framework for patient counseling and postoperative care. His contributions have reshaped how the urological community understands and addresses the full spectrum of sexual health outcomes following radical prostatectomy.
