About

Dr. Andrea Angiolini is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on the application of advanced imaging and augmented reality (AR) to improve outcomes in robot-assisted surgery for prostate and kidney cancers. His major contributions lie in demonstrating how multiparametric MRI can map prostatic cancer anatomy to guide nerve-sparing techniques during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), a finding published in 2017 with 87 citations. He has pioneered the use of augmented reality to direct intraoperative frozen sections and to facilitate selective clamping and tumor dissection during robot-assisted partial nephrectomy, with two 2020-2021 papers accumulating over 110 combined citations. Dr. Angiolini also developed a clinical nomogram to predict trifecta outcomes—the triple goal of cancer control, renal function preservation, and complication avoidance—in partial nephrectomy patients, a tool that has informed surgical planning for localized renal masses. His work, which bridges imaging technology and precision surgery, has been widely cited for its practical impact on reducing morbidity and improving functional preservation in urologic oncology.
