About
Dr. Anna Rivetti is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing surgical techniques for prostate and kidney cancers, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted procedures. Her most impactful contributions include a landmark 2023 study on urinary continence recovery after robotic radical prostatectomy, which evaluated outcomes in patients treated without anterior or posterior reconstruction. This work, cited 25 times, provides critical insights into predictive factors for short- and mid-term continence, challenging conventional surgical dogma. Dr. Rivetti also pioneered the use of hyperaccuracy three-dimensional (HA3D) virtual models for complex robotic partial nephrectomies, as demonstrated in a 2021 case report (17 citations) involving two renal masses in a horseshoe kidney—a testament to her innovative approach to preoperative planning. Additionally, she has critically examined the evolving role of open partial nephrectomy in the robotic era, contributing to the ongoing dialogue about surgical modality selection. Her research, conducted at a tertiary referral center, has garnered over 45 citations, establishing her as a rising authority in minimally invasive urologic oncology and surgical optimization.
