About
Geoffrey Gotto is a leading urologic oncologist whose research focuses on improving outcomes for prostate cancer patients, particularly through the study of surgical complications and patient expectations following radical prostatectomy. His work has significantly advanced the understanding of factors that influence postoperative recovery and quality of life. Notably, his highly cited 2011 study, "Age, Obesity, Medical Comorbidities and Surgical Technique are Predictive of Symptomatic Anastomotic Strictures After Contemporary Radical Prostatectomy" (65 citations), identified key predictors of this common and debilitating complication, providing surgeons with evidence to better counsel patients and refine surgical approaches. Dr. Gotto also made important contributions to patient-centered care with his 2015 survey on patient expectations regarding sexual function after prostatectomy (37 citations), revealing a critical gap between patient hopes and realistic outcomes. This work has helped shape preoperative counseling practices, ensuring men have a more accurate understanding of their postoperative sexual health. Through these impactful studies, Dr. Gotto has established himself as a key voice in optimizing both the technical and psychosocial aspects of prostate cancer surgery.
