About

Diego Cocca is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advanced robotic and minimally invasive approaches to complex urologic and colorectal conditions. His major contributions lie in refining surgical techniques for challenging pathologies, particularly colovesical fistula and synchronous urologic tumors. Cocca’s 2019 review on colovesical fistula management, with 40 citations, is a cornerstone reference that systematically evaluates conservative, surgical, and minimally invasive options, guiding clinical decision-making for this rare but debilitating condition. He has also pioneered combined robotic surgery for patients with double renal masses and concurrent prostate cancer, demonstrating in a 2020 study (12 citations) that multi-organ tumor resection is both feasible and safe, challenging traditional staging paradigms. His 2018 case report on robotic treatment of oligometastatic kidney tumors with pancreatic metastases (30 citations) further underscores his expertise in managing metastatic renal cell carcinoma in the immunotherapy era. Cocca’s work has significantly advanced the field by expanding the indications for robotic surgery, improving outcomes for patients with complex, multi-site disease, and providing evidence-based frameworks for conservative management.
