About
Dr. Luca Cindolo is a leading urologic surgeon whose research has significantly advanced minimally invasive surgery for kidney and prostate conditions. His work centers on refining robotic and laparoendoscopic techniques to improve patient outcomes. He is best known for his pivotal role in the CLOCK randomized controlled trial, which rigorously compared on-clamp versus off-clamp robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN). This landmark study, cited over 100 times, provided critical evidence on functional and safety outcomes, helping surgeons optimize renal function preservation during tumor removal. Dr. Cindolo also spearheaded the largest multi-institutional analysis of laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) in urology, a study of over 1,000 cases with 277 citations, which established risk factors for complications and conversion. His contributions extend to benign prostatic hyperplasia, where his systematic reviews and meta-analyses of over 6,500 cases have helped define the standard surgical approach for large prostates. With a consistent focus on high-level evidence, Dr. Cindolo’s research has shaped modern urologic practice, offering clear, data-driven guidance for complex surgical decisions.
