About
Roberto Passera is a leading surgical researcher whose work sits at the intersection of urologic oncology, minimally invasive surgery, and precision diagnostics. His primary contributions focus on refining surgical techniques and diagnostic accuracy for prostate cancer, particularly through the use of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy and multiparametric MRI. His landmark 2015 study on total anatomical reconstruction during robot-assisted prostatectomy, with 136 citations, demonstrated significant improvements in early urinary continence recovery. He has also made pivotal contributions to the debate between laparoscopic and robotic surgery, evidenced by his 106-citation randomized controlled trial showing five-year outcomes. In diagnostics, Passera has been instrumental in validating MRI/ultrasound fusion targeted biopsy, showing it significantly improves agreement between biopsy and surgical Gleason scores (49 citations) and reduces the risk of pathological upgrading. Beyond urology, his work extends to bariatric and colorectal surgery, including a systematic review on trocar site hernia after gastric bypass and a meta-analysis on minimally invasive colorectal surgery in older patients. His research consistently bridges technical innovation with tangible patient outcomes, making him a key figure in evidence-based surgical practice.
