About
Dr. Roberto Passera is a leading figure in urologic oncology, with a focused expertise in minimally invasive surgical techniques for prostate cancer. His primary research centers on refining and optimizing robot-assisted surgery, particularly for high-risk cases requiring meticulous staging. Dr. Passera’s major contribution is his pioneering work on Robot-Assisted Extended Pelvic Lymph Nodes Dissection (RAEPLND), a technically demanding procedure critical for accurate cancer staging and prognosis. In his seminal 2015 paper, which has garnered 16 citations, he detailed his personal surgical technique and outcomes, demonstrating that RAEPLND can be performed safely while removing a significantly higher number of lymph nodes compared to limited dissection. This work has helped establish a more precise standard for nodal staging, directly impacting treatment decisions for patients with aggressive disease. Beyond this, his broader research portfolio consistently explores the intersection of robotic precision and oncologic efficacy, making him a respected voice in the advancement of urologic surgery. For students and researchers, Dr. Passera’s work exemplifies the critical role of surgical innovation in improving both diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes in prostate cancer care.
