About
Francesco Sanguedolce is a leading urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on optimizing surgical outcomes in nephron-sparing and minimally invasive urologic oncology. His major contributions lie in refining partial nephrectomy techniques for renal masses, particularly through the development and validation of the Surface-Intermediate-Base (SIB) margin score—a standardized system for reporting resection techniques. His landmark prospective multicenter study (93 citations) demonstrated how resection technique impacts perioperative outcomes and positive surgical margins, while his subsequent work on highly complex renal masses (36 citations) identified predictors of Trifecta failure. Sanguedolce has also advanced evidence-based practice through systematic reviews comparing ureteroscopic lithotripsy versus ureterolithotomy for large stones (26 citations) and evaluating drainage strategies in robotic uro-oncological surgery (11 citations). Notably, his innovative prospective study on video gaming and robotic surgery skills (21 citations) explored how prior gaming experience may enhance novice surgeons’ performance on high-fidelity simulators. Through large international consortiums and rigorous meta-analyses, Sanguedolce continues to shape surgical decision-making, improve patient outcomes, and train the next generation of robotic surgeons.
