About

V. Di Girolamo is a leading urological surgeon whose research has significantly advanced the understanding of prostate cancer treatment outcomes. His key research areas include robotic-assisted surgery, oncological staging, and comparative effectiveness in urologic oncology. Di Girolamo’s major contribution lies in demonstrating how the introduction of robotic training programs can alter clinical practice patterns and influence cancer stage migration. His seminal 2012 study, cited 38 times, provided critical evidence that the adoption of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) at a single tertiary referral centre led to measurable shifts in patient selection and pathological characteristics compared to traditional open retropubic radical prostatectomy (RRP). This work has helped shape surgical decision-making and training protocols worldwide. By systematically evaluating preoperative and pathological data, Di Girolamo’s research offers valuable insights into the real-world impact of technological adoption in surgical oncology. His findings continue to inform best practices for surgeons and institutions considering robotic program implementation, making his work essential reading for clinicians and researchers focused on improving prostate cancer care through evidence-based surgical innovation.
