About
Lorenzo Rigatti is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on improving functional outcomes in prostate cancer surgery and advancing minimally invasive techniques in urology. His most cited study, a 2012 pilot investigation with 30 citations, explores the relationship between perineal body tone and urinary continence following radical prostatectomy, demonstrating that preoperative pelvic muscle characteristics may predict postoperative continence recovery. This work contributes to the growing field of personalized rehabilitation strategies for prostate cancer patients. Rigatti has also pioneered technical innovations in robotic surgery, notably describing a modified robot-assisted pyeloplasty technique using the Contour™ stent, which minimizes retroperitoneal dissection and may reduce operative morbidity. His research bridges the gap between surgical precision and patient quality of life, emphasizing the importance of pelvic floor physiology in surgical planning. While his citation counts reflect a focused, early-career impact, Rigatti’s contributions are notable for their practical clinical relevance, offering urologists evidence-based tools to enhance continence preservation and refine robotic surgical approaches.
