About

Elisabetta Costantini is a prominent urological surgeon and researcher whose work spans pelvic floor reconstruction, minimally invasive surgery, and surgical education. Based at a leading Italian institution, she has established herself as an authority in the surgical management of pelvic organ prolapse (POP), contributing landmark comparative studies on laparoscopic and robotic-assisted sacrocolpopexy techniques. Her 2019 prospective randomized trial comparing robot-assisted versus laparoscopic approaches for high-stage POP has garnered 57 citations, underscoring its significance in guiding surgical decision-making. Costantini's research extends into minimally invasive renal surgery, with her contribution to the multi-institutional RECORD 2 Project — accumulating 51 citations — providing critical insights into transperitoneal versus retroperitoneal partial nephrectomy outcomes. She has also thoughtfully examined the evolving role of mesh in prolapse repair and explored how the COVID-19 pandemic could be leveraged to innovate urology residency training, reflecting her commitment to surgical education. Her more recent work on proctoring in robotic urologic surgery highlights her continued investment in mentorship and safe adoption of emerging technologies. Costantini's diverse, clinically impactful portfolio makes her an influential voice in contemporary urology and urogynaecology.
