About

Alessandro Larcher is a prominent urological surgeon and researcher whose work has substantially advanced the fields of minimally invasive kidney surgery and urologic oncology. Best known for his expertise in robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN), Larcher has made foundational contributions to understanding surgical learning curves, operative technique optimization, and outcomes benchmarking. His development of the Margin, Ischemia, and Complications (MIC) score — cited 148 times — provided urologists with a standardized framework for evaluating quality in nephron-sparing surgery, becoming an essential tool in the field. His multicenter collaborative studies, including the ROSULA group and the RECORd 2 Project, collectively accumulating nearly 300 citations, have helped define best practices across open, laparoscopic, and robotic surgical approaches. Larcher also contributed meaningfully to prostate cancer diagnostics, with research on PSA isoforms and the Prostate Health Index earning over 200 combined citations. His work on surgical training curricula through the ERUS framework underscores a commitment to standardizing robotic education globally. With a portfolio spanning systematic reviews, prospective multicenter trials, and emerging technologies such as 3D-model–assisted surgery, Larcher stands as a highly influential voice shaping the future of precision urologic surgery.
