About

Carolina Bistacco is a pioneering Brazilian urological surgeon whose work is reshaping the landscape of robotic-assisted oncologic surgery. Her primary research focuses on minimally invasive techniques for bladder cancer, particularly robotic-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC). Bistacco’s major contribution lies in demonstrating the feasibility and safety of RARC within the Brazilian healthcare context, as evidenced by her landmark study, "Robotic-assisted radical cystectomy: the first multicentric Brazilian experience" (2020), which has garnered 3 citations. This work not only validated the procedure’s outcomes in a diverse, multi-institutional setting but also established a foundational framework for adopting advanced robotic technologies in resource-limited environments. Her efforts have been instrumental in bridging the gap between high-volume international centers and emerging surgical programs, fostering collaboration and standardization. Bistacco’s impact extends beyond citations; she is a vocal advocate for surgical education and has mentored a new generation of robotic surgeons in Latin America. By championing evidence-based innovation, she continues to elevate the standard of care for patients with urologic malignancies, making her a respected figure in the global surgical community.
