About
Leone Tiso is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on improving outcomes for prostate cancer patients undergoing radical prostatectomy, particularly robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). His research centers on identifying clinical, pathological, and perioperative factors that predict complications and long-term outcomes after surgery. Tiso has made significant contributions to understanding hospital readmission risks, demonstrating that extended pelvic lymph node dissection, open surgical approach, and seminal vesicle invasion are independent predictors of readmission after prostate cancer surgery. He has also investigated the relationship between positive surgical margins and biochemical recurrence, showing that linear extent of margin positivity and high surgeon volume are critical factors. His work on perioperative blood transfusion risks and intraoperative bleeding has practical implications for surgical planning. With over 90 citations across his most-cited papers, Tiso's research has helped refine risk stratification for prostate cancer surgery. Notably, his preliminary work using diffusion tensor imaging to visualize peri-prostatic neurovascular fibers represents an innovative approach to preserving nerve function during prostatectomy.
