About
Dr. Sebastiano Nazzani is a leading urologic oncologist whose research focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes for patients with genitourinary cancers, particularly prostate, bladder, kidney, and testicular cancers. His major contributions center on comparing perioperative outcomes between open, laparoscopic, and robotic surgical approaches, using large population-based datasets to provide evidence for surgical decision-making. His highly cited 2018 study on in-hospital length of stay after major oncological procedures (44 citations) established benchmarks for recovery expectations. He has published extensively on radical cystectomy for bladder cancer, demonstrating that robotic approaches can offer comparable safety profiles to open surgery while potentially reducing morbidity. His work on radical prostatectomy has examined how patient age, institutional teaching status, and surgical technique influence complication rates and hospital costs. Notably, Dr. Nazzani has also investigated the safety and feasibility of minimally invasive retroperitoneal lymph node dissection for testis cancer (27 citations), expanding treatment options for young men with this disease. His research on partial nephrectomy in frail patients with renal cell carcinoma has helped define appropriate candidates for nephron-sparing surgery. Through his comprehensive analyses of national surgical databases, Dr. Nazzani has provided urologic surgeons with crucial data to guide treatment selection and improve patient outcomes across the spectrum of urologic oncology.
