About
Chiara Cipriani is a rising urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving functional outcomes in minimally invasive kidney and prostate surgery. Her major contributions lie in the optimization of robotic and laparoscopic partial nephrectomy and radical prostatectomy, with a particular focus on techniques that preserve urinary continence and renal function. She has been instrumental in the CLOCK II Laparoscopic Study, a landmark randomized trial comparing on-clamp versus off-clamp laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for small renal masses, which demonstrated no significant differences in perioperative outcomes—a finding with direct implications for surgical practice. Her work on preoperative prostatic shape as a predictor of continence recovery after robotic radical prostatectomy, including a multicenter analysis involving 10 referral centers, has been cited over 19 times and is shaping patient counseling and surgical planning. Cipriani has also pioneered the robotic off-clamp simple enucleation single-layer renorrhaphy (ROSS) technique, helping novice surgeons overcome the steep learning curve of partial nephrectomy. With several recent high-impact publications and ongoing multicenter collaborations, she is establishing herself as a key voice in evidence-based, patient-centered urologic oncology.
