About
Andrea Guttilla is a distinguished urologic surgeon and researcher whose work has significantly advanced the fields of pediatric urology, robotic surgery, and oncologic outcomes. Her research is centered on minimally invasive techniques, with a major focus on robotic-assisted procedures for both pediatric and adult populations. She led the landmark "Global minimally invasive pyeloplasty study in children," a multi-institutional effort from the European Association of Urology Young Academic Urologists, which has garnered over 109 citations and established key benchmarks for pediatric robotic surgery. Dr. Guttilla also contributed pioneering work in robotic kidney transplantation, documenting early outcomes in a highly cited 2017 study. Her prospective randomized trial comparing transperitoneal versus extraperitoneal approaches during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) provided critical insights into anesthetic and physiologic effects, while her research on open conversion simulations has informed robotic training curricula. Additionally, she reported the first combined robotic-assisted retroperitoneoscopic partial nephrectomy and extraperitoneal prostatectomy, demonstrating technical innovation. With a career marked by high-impact, practice-shaping studies, Dr. Guttilla continues to influence the evolution of urologic robotics and surgical education.
