About
Matteo Brunelli is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on optimizing outcomes in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND) for prostate cancer. His major contributions include identifying key risk factors for surgical complications—such as his finding that body mass index independently predicts high-grade Clavien-Dindo complications (39 citations)—and mapping the oncologic significance of specific lymph node basins, including Marcille’s fossa and Cloquet’s nodes. Brunelli has also advanced perioperative care through a randomized trial demonstrating the safety of omitting surgical drains after RARP (29 citations) and a prospective study showing that robotic surgery accelerates postoperative stress recovery (18 citations). His work on the Hugo RAS system versus da Vinci Xi (23 citations) positions him at the forefront of next-generation robotic surgery. With multiple papers exceeding 30 citations, Brunelli’s research has directly shaped surgical decision-making, from patient selection based on age and obesity to the extent of lymph node dissection, ultimately improving both oncologic control and quality of life for prostate cancer patients.
