About

Nicola Zanovello is a urologic surgeon whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly in robotic prostate surgery. His work addresses critical challenges in two key areas: preventing complications during radical prostatectomy and improving outcomes for benign prostatic obstruction. Zanovello’s most impactful contribution is a systematic review on lymphocele prevention during minimally invasive radical prostatectomy and lymph node dissection (23 citations), which synthesized evidence on surgical strategies to reduce this common and potentially severe complication. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he co-authored a pivotal study from two high-volume Italian centers demonstrating that minimally invasive urologic surgery remained safe, providing crucial guidance for surgical practice during global health crises (9 citations). Most recently, Zanovello has explored Retzius-sparing robot-assisted simple prostatectomy, reporting promising perioperative and short-term functional outcomes for patients with large benign outlet obstruction. His research consistently bridges the gap between surgical innovation and practical patient care, emphasizing complication reduction and functional preservation. Through systematic reviews and clinical studies, Zanovello contributes to the evidence base that shapes modern, patient-centered urologic surgery.
