About

Chiara Ciccarese is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive kidney cancer surgery. Her primary research focus lies in the optimization of robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN), with a specific emphasis on refining surgical techniques to improve patient outcomes. Dr. Ciccarese’s major contributions include a landmark systematic review on resection techniques during RPN, which synthesized global evidence to highlight the critical role of tumor excision methods in achieving optimal clinical results—a work that has garnered 56 citations. She has also been at the forefront of evaluating the impact of single-port (SP) robotic surgery, demonstrating through her 2023 narrative review that this novel technology can significantly reduce hospital stays and improve perioperative outcomes, earning 22 citations. Her work not only advances surgical precision but also accelerates patient recovery, positioning her as a key figure in the adoption of next-generation robotic platforms. Dr. Ciccarese’s research is essential reading for any student or clinician interested in the future of nephron-sparing surgery.
