About

Dr. S. Bazzani is a leading researcher at the intersection of urological surgery and medical robotics, with a primary focus on advancing the treatment of large kidney stones. Their work centers on enhancing the precision and safety of Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL), the gold-standard procedure for stones over 20 mm, by integrating cutting-edge technologies. Dr. Bazzani’s major contributions include pioneering the use of augmented reality and robotic assistance to improve the critical puncture step, which directly impacts surgical success and patient outcomes. Their 2020 paper on augmented reality and robotic-assisted PCNL has garnered 26 citations, establishing a foundational framework for image-guided interventions. More recently, in 2025, Dr. Bazzani introduced an ultrasonographic-guided robotic system designed to democratize this complex procedure by reducing the steep learning curve for surgeons. This work, though newly published, promises to expand access to high-precision stone treatment. Through these innovations, Dr. Bazzani is not only improving surgical accuracy but also shaping the future of minimally invasive urology, making them a notable figure in the field of robotic surgery.
