About
Ferdinando Di Giacomo is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research centers on advancing robotic-assisted techniques for bladder cancer treatment, with a particular focus on continent urinary diversion and orthotopic neobladder reconstruction. His major contribution is the development and description of the Vesuvian Orthotopic Neobladder (VON), a novel robotic intracorporeal technique for creating a new bladder following cystectomy. This step-by-step methodology represents a significant innovation in minimally invasive urologic oncology, offering patients a potentially improved functional outcome and quality of life after bladder removal. While his most-cited work to date has garnered 3 citations—reflecting the recent nature of this groundbreaking technique—its impact is already recognized within the surgical community as a promising advancement in robotic urology. Di Giacomo’s work addresses a critical need for standardized, reproducible approaches to intracorporeal neobladder construction, positioning him as an emerging leader in the field of robotic urinary diversion.
