About

Francesca Ambrosini is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of robotic surgery, minimally invasive urology, and oncological outcomes. Based at the University of Genova's Policlinico San Martino Hospital, she has established herself as a leading voice in the comparative evaluation of robotic-assisted versus conventional surgical approaches across a range of urological conditions. Her most impactful contributions include a comprehensive systematic review of port-site metastasis following robotic-assisted radical cystectomy (27 citations), a large-scale propensity score-matched analysis of over 18,800 patients comparing robotic and open radical prostatectomy, and comparative studies on robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty. These works collectively advance evidence-based surgical decision-making in urological oncology and reconstructive urology. Ambrosini has also pioneered research in emerging areas such as PSMA-radioguided robotic surgery for recurrent prostate cancer, intraoperative image-guidance technologies, and novel renorrhaphy techniques during partial nephrectomy. Her work on salvage prostatectomy outcomes after focal therapies further underscores her commitment to complex oncological challenges. With nearly 80 cumulative citations across a focused and clinically meaningful body of work, Ambrosini represents a rising researcher helping to define the future of precision, technology-driven urological surgery.
