About
Ospedale San Luigi Gonzaga, a distinguished academic hospital affiliated with the University of Turin in Orbassano, Italy, has established itself as a world-leading center for robotic and minimally invasive urological surgery. The institution's research program is defined by a remarkable integration of cutting-edge surgical robotics, augmented reality, three-dimensional reconstruction technologies, and artificial intelligence — pushing the boundaries of precision surgery in urological oncology. At the forefront of the hospital's contributions is its pioneering work in augmented reality–guided robot-assisted surgery. Researchers here developed and validated Hyperaccuracy Three-Dimensional (HA3D™) reconstruction technology, which overlays patient-specific anatomical models onto live surgical imagery, dramatically improving outcomes in complex partial nephrectomies and radical prostatectomies. This innovation has fundamentally shifted how surgeons approach tumor-specific planning and selective vascular clamping, earning international recognition and generating hundreds of citations across the global urology community. The institution has been equally influential in comparative surgical outcomes research. Through landmark multicenter studies — including the RECORd project — clinicians here systematically benchmarked open, laparoscopic, and robotic approaches across thousands of patients, providing evidence that continues to shape global clinical guidelines. Their randomized controlled trial comparing laparoscopic and robotic radical prostatectomy over five years represents a gold standard contribution to the field. Beyond the operating theater, San Luigi Gonzaga researchers have emerged as serious contributors to AI and machine learning in prostate cancer management, identifying computational tools that could transform diagnosis, risk stratification, and personalized treatment. With over 2,700 cumulative citations across their most impactful publications, the hospital offers prospective collaborators and trainees an environment where surgical innovation, digital technology, and rigorous clinical science converge at the highest level.
