About
Marco Fantozzi is a pioneering urological surgeon whose research focuses on advancing robotic-assisted surgery, particularly for renal and prostate procedures. His major contributions center on the clinical validation and optimization of the novel Hugo™ RAS system, a next-generation robotic platform designed for enhanced modularity. Fantozzi has been instrumental in demonstrating the feasibility, safety, and superior outcomes of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) using this system, including off-clamp techniques that reduce warm ischemia time. His work has garnered significant attention, with his most-cited paper, "State of the Art in Robotic Surgery with Hugo RAS System," accumulating 56 citations. Notably, he developed a novel proficiency score to assess skill transfer from laparoscopy to robotics, a critical tool for surgical training. Fantozzi also introduced the "Delta neobladder," a simplified, stentless intracorporeal technique for radical cystectomy. His studies consistently report high trifecta outcomes—combining cancer control, renal function preservation, and complication-free recovery—establishing him as a key figure in the evolution of minimally invasive urological surgery.
