About
Carmelo Morana is a pioneering surgeon and researcher in the field of urologic oncology, with a primary focus on advancing robotic surgical techniques for prostate cancer treatment. His work centers on the comparative analysis of single-port (SP) versus multi-port robotic platforms, particularly during the critical initial learning curve. Morana’s major contribution lies in his human factors analysis of robotic radical prostatectomy, where he systematically evaluates surgeon cognitive load, ergonomics, and operating room efficiency—an area often overlooked in surgical innovation. His most-cited study (2020, 25 citations) provides foundational insights into how the da Vinci SP platform impacts surgeon experience, offering evidence that guides the adoption of less invasive approaches without compromising performance. By bridging surgical ergonomics and patient outcomes, Morana’s research helps shape safer, more efficient robotic surgery protocols. His work is notable for its interdisciplinary approach, merging engineering principles with clinical practice, and has been instrumental in informing training curricula for next-generation robotic surgeons. Through these efforts, Morana continues to influence the evolution of minimally invasive urologic surgery.
