About

Dr. Andrea Benelli is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for prostate and bladder cancers, with a particular focus on improving functional outcomes and quality of life for patients. His major contributions include pioneering the use of three-dimensional (3D) laparoscopy for radical prostatectomy, as demonstrated in his highly cited 2017 study on "Pentafecta Rates" following 150 cases—a benchmark paper that has garnered 9 citations for establishing optimal oncologic and functional outcomes. Dr. Benelli has also been at the forefront of sexual-sparing approaches in radical cystectomy, as detailed in his 2025 review on the topic (7 citations), which synthesizes evidence on preserving sexual function in the robotic surgery era. Additionally, his prospective multicenter evaluation of urologists' ability to interpret PSMA-PET scans (2025) addresses a critical gap in prostate cancer staging, highlighting the need for standardized training. Through these works, Dr. Benelli has shaped modern urologic practice by demonstrating that advanced technology can reduce morbidity without compromising cancer control, making him a key voice in the field of surgical oncology.
