About

Fabio Maria Valenzi is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher at the forefront of single-port (SP) robotic surgery. His work centers on refining minimally invasive techniques for prostate and kidney cancers, with a particular focus on improving outcomes for elderly and frail patients. Valenzi’s major contributions include demonstrating that the learning curve for single-port robotic radical prostatectomy (SP-RARP) is comparable to multi-port approaches, without compromising safety or oncological results. He has also shown that SP robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) reduces postoperative complications in seniors, and he introduced the concept of a “trifecta” for same-day discharge after SP simple prostatectomy. His prospective multicenter study correlating preserved urethral length with early continence recovery after RALP has informed surgical planning. With over 75 citations across his top papers, Valenzi’s work is shaping the next generation of urologic surgery. He has also validated nephrometry scores specifically for SP-RAPN and authored a comprehensive systematic review on SP reconstructive urology, establishing himself as a leading voice in the field’s evolution toward less invasive, more patient-tailored care.
