About
Cristina Carerj is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing robotic-assisted surgery, particularly in the treatment of prostate and kidney cancers. Her work critically examines the learning curve and outcomes of novel robotic platforms, such as the Hugo RAS system, compared to established systems like the Da Vinci. In a landmark 2025 study, she demonstrated that prior Da Vinci expertise significantly enhances outcomes during Hugo RAS radical prostatectomy, providing essential guidance for surgical teams transitioning to new technologies. Carerj also conducted a propensity-matched analysis comparing robot-assisted and open partial nephrectomy, confirming the oncologic safety and perioperative advantages of the robotic approach. With her studies already accumulating citations—including 4 for her Hugo RAS work—her contributions are shaping best practices in minimally invasive urologic oncology. Carerj’s research is vital for surgeons and trainees navigating the rapid evolution of robotic surgery, offering evidence-based insights that improve patient care and surgical training.
