About
Vincent P. Laudone is a prominent urologic surgeon and researcher whose work has fundamentally shaped our understanding of minimally invasive and robotic surgical approaches to urological cancers, particularly bladder and prostate cancer. Based at a leading tertiary care center, Laudone has dedicated his career to rigorously evaluating whether emerging robotic techniques deliver genuine clinical advantages over established open surgical methods. His most influential contribution is a landmark randomized clinical trial comparing open and robot-assisted laparoscopic radical cystectomy for bladder cancer, which has accumulated nearly 600 citations and remains a cornerstone reference in urologic oncology. Alongside companion studies examining oncologic outcomes from this trial, Laudone helped establish the evidence base that guides surgical decision-making for bladder cancer patients worldwide. His research into radical prostatectomy practice patterns, drawing on American Board of Urology certification data, provided invaluable national-level insights into how robotic surgery reshaped urological practice across the United States. Beyond urology, Laudone has extended his expertise to robotic liver resection, contributing early comparative outcome data in a field still establishing its foundations. With research spanning lymph node dissection standards, comparative effectiveness analyses, and active surveillance trends, his cumulative body of work — exceeding 1,500 total citations — continues to inform surgeons, trainees, and policymakers navigating the evolving landscape of oncologic surgery.
