About

Dr. C. De Carne is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work centers on advancing robotic-assisted surgical techniques, particularly in the fields of prostate cancer and renal surgery. Their most impactful contribution is the development and description of the "Digital Frozen Sections with Fluorescence Confocal Microscopy" technique during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, a landmark 2021 paper that has garnered 53 citations. This innovation represents a significant leap in real-time surgical pathology, allowing for immediate assessment of surgical margins during the procedure. Dr. De Carne has also made important contributions to perioperative management, as demonstrated by their 2016 study evaluating the hemostatic efficacy of FloSeal in robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP), which provided critical data on reducing bleeding complications. Expanding the boundaries of robotic surgery, they were among the first to perform combined full robotic partial nephrectomy and colorectal resections, as reported in their 2020 work. This pioneering approach to multi-organ surgery opens new possibilities for treating patients with coexisting lesions in a single, minimally invasive setting. Through these contributions, Dr. De Carne is helping to define the future of precision, multi-disciplinary robotic surgery.
