About

Davide Stivalini is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research centers on advancing robotic-assisted techniques for complex genitourinary cancers, particularly prostate and renal malignancies. His most impactful contribution is the development and clinical validation of the PERUSIA technique for robotic radical prostatectomy, a novel approach described in his 2021 landmark paper (24 citations). This method—combining posterior, extraperitoneal, robotic, and intrafascial principles—represents a significant refinement in surgical precision for organ-confined prostate cancer, aiming to improve functional outcomes while maintaining oncologic control. Stivalini has also explored the frontiers of multi-organ robotic surgery, as evidenced by his 2020 study on combined robotic resection of double renal masses and prostate cancer (12 citations). This work addresses the growing clinical challenge of synchronous urologic tumors, demonstrating that robotic platforms can safely and effectively manage concurrent malignancies in a single operative setting. His research consistently pushes the boundaries of minimally invasive urologic oncology, offering patients expanded surgical options. With a focused body of work that has already garnered measurable academic impact, Stivalini stands as an emerging authority in the evolution of robotic urologic surgery.
