About

Dr. Luca Lambertini is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing robotic and minimally invasive surgery for renal cell carcinoma and other urologic conditions. His major contributions lie in the use of three-dimensional virtual models (3DVMs) and intraoperative ultrasonography to safely approach complex renal masses, as demonstrated in his 2024 study comparing 3DVM-assisted robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) with a contemporary control group (32 citations). He has also developed and internally validated a nomogram to predict 3-year chronic kidney disease upstaging following RAPN (2023, 39 citations), a tool that directly impacts postoperative patient management. With over 200 total citations, his research spans high-impact topics including redo partial nephrectomy for local recurrence, surgical management of synchronous bilateral renal masses, and comparative outcomes of single-port versus multiport robotic approaches in frail or obese patients. Notably, his work on the Florence Robotic Intracorporeal Neobladder (FloRIN) and extraperitoneal single-port prostatectomy highlights his commitment to refining surgical techniques that improve functional and oncologic outcomes. Dr. Lambertini’s innovative use of technology and focus on personalized surgical planning positions him as a key figure in the evolution of nephron-sparing and reconstructive urologic surgery.
