About

Flavia Proietti is a leading urological surgeon and researcher whose work is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive cancer care. Her primary research focuses on the evolution and optimization of robot-assisted surgery for urological malignancies, with a particular emphasis on radical cystectomy and prostatectomy. Proietti has made landmark contributions to the field by systematically comparing surgical approaches—her meta-analysis of robot-assisted versus open radical cystectomy (2024) has already garnered 11 citations, while her comprehensive review of robotic surgery’s history from PROBOT® to HUGOTM (2023) stands as a definitive reference with 114 citations. She has pioneered fluorescence-guided techniques using indocyanine green to enhance surgical precision, and developed the “Single Knot–Single Running Suture” vesicourethral anastomosis method to improve continence recovery after prostatectomy. Her work extends to simulation-based training models that are transforming surgical education. Operating from a high-volume referral center, Proietti has also provided critical real-world data on neoadjuvant chemotherapy’s impact on bladder cancer outcomes and expanded the evidence base for robot-assisted inguinal lymphadenectomy in penile cancer. With over 200 total citations across her most influential papers, Proietti stands at the forefront of integrating technological innovation with rigorous clinical evidence to advance urological surgery.
