About
Dr. L. Da Pozzo is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on optimizing surgical outcomes for renal cell carcinoma, with a particular focus on partial nephrectomy. As a principal investigator in the landmark RECORd 2 Project, a prospective multicenter observational study, Dr. Da Pozzo has made seminal contributions to evidence-based urologic oncology. His most cited paper, with 131 citations, provides a critical comparison of perioperative outcomes across open, laparoscopic, and robotic partial nephrectomy, establishing benchmarks for minimally invasive techniques. Dr. Da Pozzo has also developed and validated predictive nomograms for postoperative complications and intermediate renal function loss, tools that directly guide clinical decision-making and patient counseling. His research further explores the impact of surgical approach—transperitoneal versus retroperitoneal—and addresses challenging scenarios, such as complex PADUA score ≥10 tumors and entirely endophytic renal masses. By consistently leveraging large, multi-institutional cohorts, Dr. Da Pozzo’s work has shaped contemporary surgical practice, improving both oncologic control and functional preservation for thousands of patients. His investigations into metastasectomy and outcomes in obese patients further underscore his commitment to personalized, high-quality surgical care.
