About

Caterina Sagnelli is a leading figure in robotic-assisted surgery, with a particular focus on improving outcomes in urology, abdominal wall reconstruction, and transplant surgery. Her work has significantly advanced minimally invasive techniques, notably through systematic reviews that have shaped clinical practice. Her 2019 systematic review on robotic-assisted laparoscopic living donor nephrectomy (RALDN), which has garnered 37 citations, provided critical evidence on donor and recipient outcomes, establishing benchmarks for this complex procedure. Sagnelli has also pioneered novel approaches, such as the robotic transabdominal retromuscular rectus diastasis (r-TARRD) repair, a 2022 publication with 24 citations that offers a new solution for abdominal wall defects. Her research extends to challenging clinical scenarios, as seen in her 2022 systematic review on prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment in patients with prior colorectal cancer (16 citations), highlighting her ability to address complex, multidisciplinary patient care. Additionally, her work on robotic-assisted single-site (RASS) TAPP for hernia repair demonstrates her commitment to refining surgical techniques for better patient outcomes. With a portfolio of high-impact studies, Sagnelli is a key contributor to the evolution of robotic surgery, blending rigorous evidence with innovative surgical solutions.
