About
Marc Laniado is a pioneering urological surgeon whose work has redefined the boundaries of minimally invasive oncology, particularly in the management of kidney and prostate cancers. His primary research focuses on advancing robotic-assisted surgery through the integration of real-time imaging, most notably via intraoperative contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). Laniado’s major contribution is the development of "occlusion angiography" and "in situ mapping," techniques that allow surgeons to visualize segmental renal blood flow during partial nephrectomy. This innovation enables "zero-ischaemia" surgery, preserving kidney function by selectively clamping only the tumor’s blood supply rather than the entire renal artery. His landmark 2012 paper on this technique has garnered 38 citations, establishing a foundational approach for nephron-sparing surgery. Laniado has also explored salvage therapies for recurrent prostate cancer, comparing focal therapy to radical prostatectomy in patients with post-radiotherapy recurrence. His work emphasizes ergonomic surgical design, such as using the robotic fourth arm to manage the dorsal vascular complex during prostatectomy. With a career dedicated to reducing patient morbidity through precision and innovation, Laniado’s contributions continue to shape the future of robotic urologic surgery.
