About
Dr. Chiara Gatti is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work is reshaping the surgical management of complex kidney stone disease. Her primary research focuses on the integration of robotic platforms and minimally invasive techniques, specifically advancing the field of endourology. Dr. Gatti’s most notable contribution is her groundbreaking 2024 study on the MONARCH Platform, which demonstrated the technical feasibility of performing a combined robotically assisted mini-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy (URS) by a single urologist. This innovative "all-in-one" approach, detailed in her highly cited paper (14 citations in its first year), promises to reduce operative times and improve patient outcomes for large or complex calculi. Her work represents a significant leap forward in surgical precision, merging two traditionally separate procedures into a single, streamlined robotic operation. By pushing the boundaries of what is possible with the MONARCH system, Dr. Gatti is not only setting a new standard for stone treatment but also paving the way for the next generation of robot-assisted urologic surgery. Her research is essential reading for any clinician or trainee interested in the future of minimally invasive urology.
