About
Dr. Antonio Nacchia is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive kidney cancer surgery, with a particular focus on robotic partial nephrectomy. His major contributions lie in developing and validating the purely off-clamp, sutureless robotic partial nephrectomy (sl-oc RAPN) technique, a novel approach designed to maximize renal function preservation by eliminating both renal artery clamping and parenchymal suturing. In a 2024 multicenter study, Dr. Nacchia demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of this technique, showing it significantly preserves kidney function compared to traditional methods. He has further broadened the impact of this work by proving, through a multi-institutional propensity score-matched analysis, that the sl-oc RAPN technique can be safely adopted by novice robotic surgeons without compromising patient outcomes—a finding with major implications for surgical training and dissemination. Dr. Nacchia also investigates patient-centered outcomes; his 2025 multicenter analysis on patient satisfaction and decision regret following radical prostatectomy has already garnered 13 citations, underscoring its relevance in shared decision-making. His work is steadily building a reputation for blending technical innovation with practical, patient-focused evidence.
