About

Dr. Elena Morini is a pioneering urological surgeon whose research is reshaping the landscape of robotic-assisted surgery, with a particular focus on improving patient outcomes in prostate and kidney cancer treatment. Her work centers on three critical areas: optimizing continence recovery after prostatectomy, advancing kidney-sparing surgical techniques, and defining the future of robotic surgical training. Dr. Morini’s most impactful study (25 citations) demonstrated that reconstructing the puboprostatic ligaments during robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy significantly enhances early urinary continence, directly addressing one of the most distressing complications for patients. She has also made notable contributions to the field of partial nephrectomy, comparing indocyanine green fluorescence-guided off-clamp techniques with traditional on-clamp methods to preserve renal function. Furthermore, Dr. Morini is a leader in robotic education, having authored a seminal review on training paradigms (10 citations) that highlights the need for accessible, cost-effective simulation programs to bridge the global surgeon shortage. Her recent urodynamic evaluation of the “Bordeaux” neobladder (10 citations) provides the first objective assessment of this innovative urinary diversion, offering new insights into patient quality of life. Through her blend of technical innovation and educational foresight, Dr. Morini is setting new standards for precision and recovery in urologic oncology.
