About
Dr. Rocco Damiano is a leading urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on robotic-assisted surgery for prostate and kidney conditions, as well as improved diagnostics for prostate cancer. His major contributions include landmark systematic reviews and meta-analyses, such as his 2020 study on robot-assisted radical nephrectomy (118 citations) and his 2022 analysis of robotic simple prostatectomy for benign prostatic hyperplasia, which synthesized data from over 6,500 cases (63 citations). Dr. Damiano has also advanced risk stratification for prostate cancer, demonstrating how biomarkers like PHI and PCA3 improve the predictive accuracy of standard criteria for identifying insignificant disease in active surveillance candidates (50 citations). His research further explores predictors of renal function decline after partial nephrectomy (42 citations) and the comparative value of multiparametric MRI versus biomarkers (42 citations). Notably, during the COVID-19 pandemic, he contributed a thoughtful analysis on how the crisis could catalyze positive changes in urology residency training (22 citations). With over 400 total citations, Dr. Damiano’s work consistently informs clinical decision-making and surgical best practices in urology.
