About
Carolina Lolli is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving functional outcomes after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), with a particular focus on early urinary continence recovery. Her major contribution is the development and refinement of a novel retropubic suburethral autologous sling technique, which she pioneered for intracorporeal placement during RARP. In her foundational 2015 study (21 citations), she described the first such sling creation and provided preliminary data demonstrating its feasibility and potential to accelerate continence return. She further advanced this work through a prospective randomized trial (2017, 9 citations) comparing a simple versus a six-branches sling design, systematically evaluating which configuration yields superior early recovery. Beyond surgical technique, Lolli has contributed to prostate cancer diagnostics, notably investigating the Prostate Health Index (PHI) and its derivatives (p2PSA, %p2PSA) for detecting aggressive disease at radical prostatectomy (2015, 9 citations). Her research bridges innovative surgical reconstruction with precision biomarker use, directly addressing two of the most pressing challenges in prostate cancer management: preserving quality of life through faster continence recovery and improving risk stratification to guide treatment decisions.
