About
Patrizio Rigatti is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher whose work has significantly advanced the fields of prostate cancer management and minimally invasive robotic surgery. His research focuses on improving diagnostic accuracy and surgical outcomes for prostate cancer, particularly through the use of novel biomarkers and robotic-assisted techniques. Rigatti's seminal 2011 study on the Prostate Health Index (phi) and its derivative %p2PSA demonstrated their predictive value for pathologic outcomes in prostate cancer patients undergoing radical prostatectomy, earning over 124 citations. He has also been instrumental in refining robotic surgical approaches, including the development of single-port pyeloplasty and side-docking techniques for the da Vinci system, which enhance surgical precision and patient recovery. His investigations into urinary continence recovery after radical prostatectomy, including the innovative use of autologous suburethral slings, have yielded practical improvements in postoperative quality of life. With multiple highly cited papers and a consistent focus on translating technical innovations into better patient outcomes, Rigatti stands as a key figure in the evolution of robotic urologic surgery.
