About

Dr. Adriana Borriello is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work sits at the cutting edge of surgical oncology and digital health. Her primary research focus is the integration of augmented reality (AR) and advanced imaging into robotic surgery for prostate cancer, specifically targeting the precision of pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND). Her major contribution is the development and description of a novel technique for PSMA-PET-guided, AR-enhanced robotic PLND, which allows surgeons to visualize suspicious lymph node metastases intraoperatively in real-time. This breakthrough directly addresses the critical challenge of identifying and removing all cancerous nodes during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), aiming to improve oncologic outcomes while reducing unnecessary dissection. While her most-cited work, detailing this "Augmented Reality PSMA-3D guided" procedure, is recent (2025) with 2 citations, its impact is already significant as it represents a paradigm shift toward personalized, image-guided surgery. Dr. Borriello’s work is at the forefront of merging artificial intelligence and 3D modeling with the operating room, promising a future where surgeons can "see" cancer in real-time, making her a key voice in the next generation of precision urologic oncology.
