About

Francesco Lasorsa is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher at the forefront of robotic-assisted surgery, with a particular focus on advancing minimally invasive techniques for renal cell carcinoma and prostate cancer. His work centers on refining robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) for complex cases, including renal hilar masses and patients with "highly hostile abdomen," demonstrating that single-port and retroperitoneal approaches can achieve excellent outcomes while reducing invasiveness. With over 140 citations across his most-cited papers, Lasorsa’s 2024 systematic review on RAPN for hilar masses (48 citations) and his review of recent advances in robotic urologic surgery (39 citations) have become foundational references. He has pioneered the use of single-port robotic platforms for nephrectomy and prostatectomy in frail patients, showing improved recovery and reduced hospital stays. His comparative analyses of extraperitoneal vs. transperitoneal approaches, and his work on the Biobot system for MRI/US fusion prostate biopsy, highlight his commitment to integrating cutting-edge technology with patient-centered care. Lasorsa’s research is shaping the future of urologic oncology, making complex surgeries safer and more accessible.
