About
Francesca Carobbio is a surgical oncologist whose research centers on optimizing outcomes in urologic oncology, with a particular focus on prostate cancer surgery. Her work critically examines the comparative effectiveness of robotic-assisted versus open surgical techniques, addressing key metrics such as positive surgical margins and early oncological control. In her highly cited 2016 study, Carobbio analyzed outcomes at a medium case-load institution, demonstrating that robotic radical prostatectomy could achieve comparable early oncological results to open surgery, with no significant difference in positive surgical margin rates. This contribution provided valuable evidence supporting the adoption of minimally invasive approaches in settings with moderate surgical volume, helping to inform clinical decision-making and surgical training. With 22 citations, this work remains a reference point for surgeons evaluating the transition to robotic platforms. Carobbio’s research bridges the gap between high-volume academic centers and community practice, offering practical insights that enhance surgical quality and patient outcomes in real-world settings.
