About
Franco Gaboardi is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of robotic and minimally invasive surgery for urologic cancers. His primary research focuses on optimizing surgical techniques for radical prostatectomy and radical cystectomy, with a particular emphasis on improving functional outcomes and reducing complications. Gaboardi’s landmark systematic review on posterior musculofascial reconstruction after radical prostatectomy (131 citations) has helped standardize techniques to enhance early urinary continence recovery. He has been instrumental in the International Robotic Cystectomy Consortium (IRCC), where his propensity score-matched analysis (89 citations) demonstrated the safety and superiority of intracorporeal urinary diversion, a finding that has shifted clinical practice. His work on surgeon experience and continence outcomes (74 citations) provides critical insights into the learning curve for robotic prostatectomy. Additionally, Gaboardi has contributed to understanding early oncologic failure after cystectomy and has performed pioneering ex vivo studies comparing thulium and holmium lasers for upper tract surgery. Through his leadership in the European Association of Urology Section of Uro-Technology (ESUT), he continues to shape evidence-based guidelines for robotic urologic oncology.
