About
Dr. Eleonora Monteleone is a pioneering urological surgeon whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly in robotic and single-port approaches for renal procedures. Her major contributions lie in the clinical implementation and evaluation of novel robotic platforms, most notably the da Vinci SP® Surgical System. In her landmark 2025 study, she reported the first Italian experience with single-port robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) via a supine anterior retroperitoneal access, demonstrating the feasibility and early outcomes of this innovative approach. This work, already garnering 3 citations, positions her at the forefront of adopting next-generation surgical technology in Europe. Dr. Monteleone’s research has significant implications for reducing patient morbidity and improving recovery times in kidney cancer surgery. Her achievements include pioneering the adoption of the FDA-approved and EU-endorsed da Vinci SP® system for urological procedures, marking a critical step in expanding access to scarless, single-port surgery. For students and researchers, her work exemplifies how translational surgical research can bridge technological innovation with real-world clinical practice, shaping the future of urologic oncology.
