About

Beatrice Costa is a leading figure in urologic oncology, with a focused expertise in the application of robotic surgery for complex genitourinary cancers. Her most-cited work, published in *ecancermedicalscience* (2016, 14 citations), critically examines the evolving role of robotic techniques beyond the well-established radical prostatectomy. In this influential paper, Costa highlights the significant, yet underexplored, potential of robotics for challenging procedures such as partial nephrectomy and radical nephroureterectomy, which remain difficult for surgeons with limited laparoscopic experience. By systematically analyzing the barriers to adoption and technical nuances of these operations, she has provided a foundational roadmap for expanding minimally invasive treatment options for kidney and bladder cancers. Her contributions are particularly valued for bridging the gap between advanced surgical technology and practical clinical application, helping to shape safer, more effective protocols. Costa’s work continues to inform both surgical training and patient care, underscoring her impact on the future of robotic urologic surgery.
