About
Carlo Introini is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing surgical care for bladder and prostate cancers, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted techniques, enhanced recovery protocols, and functional outcomes. As a key contributor to the Italian Radical Cystectomy Registry (RIC), he has helped shape the largest prospective, multicenter study comparing robotic-assisted, laparoscopic, and open radical cystectomy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer, with over 1,400 patients enrolled. His landmark publications, including the RIC protocol and its pre-operative data analysis, have garnered nearly 20 citations and established a foundational evidence base for surgical decision-making. Introini has also pioneered research on sexual-sparing radical cystectomy in the robotic era, addressing critical quality-of-life concerns, and has investigated novel analgesic strategies within Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS) protocols, comparing erector spinae plane block to transversus abdominis plane block. His work extends to surgical anatomy, mapping genitofemoral nerve variations to prevent intraoperative injury during pelvic lymph node dissection, and to the interpretation of PSMA-PET imaging among urologists. Through these contributions, Introini has become a prominent voice in urologic oncology, bridging surgical innovation with patient-centered outcomes.
