About

Emilio Sacco is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work is at the forefront of robotic surgery innovation, particularly in the treatment of prostate and bladder cancers. His major contributions center on the clinical adoption and comparative analysis of next-generation robotic platforms, most notably the Hugo™ RAS system. Through a series of high-impact studies, including systematic reviews and large monocentric series, Sacco has provided critical evidence on the surgical, oncological, and functional outcomes of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) using this novel technology. His work, which has garnered hundreds of citations, includes a landmark meta-analysis comparing the Hugo RAS and da Vinci systems, as well as influential consensus guidelines on anesthesia for robotic urologic surgery. Sacco has also advanced the understanding of surgical quality metrics, analyzing learning curves for positive surgical margins and defining "trifecta" and "pentafecta" success rates for radical cystectomy. By rigorously evaluating perioperative outcomes and technical nuances, he is helping to shape the future of minimally invasive urologic surgery and guide the safe integration of emerging robotic platforms into clinical practice.
