About
Dr. G. Malossini is a leading urologic surgeon whose research has fundamentally advanced the field of robotic-assisted surgery, particularly for prostate and kidney cancers. His work provides critical, evidence-based comparisons between robotic, laparoscopic, and open surgical approaches, directly informing clinical decision-making. In a landmark prospective cohort study (78 citations), he demonstrated that robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) yields superior operative outcomes over both laparoscopic and open methods. He further refined kidney-sparing techniques by showing that fluorescence-guided selective arterial clamping during RAPN significantly improves early functional recovery, as validated by renal scintigraphy (40 citations). For prostate cancer, his comparative analyses of radical prostatectomy techniques (35 citations) are essential reading, revealing that while bilateral nerve-sparing robotic surgery accelerates continence recovery, it does not guarantee superior erectile function, underscoring the need for careful patient selection (24 citations). Dr. Malossini has also pioneered novel platforms, reporting the first case of laparoendoscopic single-site radical prostatectomy using the VesPa platform (13 citations). His cumulative work, including guidance for robotic surgery after colorectal surgery, has been cited over 200 times, solidifying his reputation as a meticulous investigator who quantifies the real-world benefits and limitations of robotic urology.
