About
Luigi Tomao is a clinician-researcher whose work sits at the intersection of urologic oncology and perioperative medicine, with a particular focus on the haemostatic and anaesthetic challenges of prostate cancer surgery. His most cited study, published in 2014, investigates how different anaesthetic techniques—specifically during laparoscopic and robotic radical prostatectomy—influence the balance of pro- and anticoagulant factors in prostate cancer patients. This work addresses a critical clinical question: whether surgical approach and anaesthesia can modify thrombotic risk in a population already predisposed to hypercoagulability. By examining perioperative changes in clotting dynamics, Tomao contributed valuable insights into the optimisation of patient safety during minimally invasive cancer surgery. Although his citation count is modest, his research is directly relevant to improving perioperative outcomes in urologic oncology. His work underscores the importance of integrating anaesthetic considerations into surgical planning for prostate cancer, a disease where thromboembolic events remain a significant concern. Tomao’s contributions are particularly meaningful for clinicians seeking to refine perioperative protocols and reduce complications in high-risk surgical patients.
