About

Gianantonio Manzoni is a leading figure in pediatric urology, renowned for advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques to treat complex congenital urinary tract conditions in children. His research focuses on the refinement and global standardization of laparoscopic and robot-assisted procedures, particularly for ureteropelvic junction obstruction and bladder neck reconstruction. Manzoni’s most impactful work, the 2016 global study on minimally invasive pyeloplasty in children (109 citations), established key benchmarks for safety and efficacy, providing a foundational reference for pediatric urologists worldwide. He further demonstrated the feasibility of robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty in challenging anatomical variants, such as horseshoe kidneys, through a multicentric study (27 citations). Beyond these contributions, Manzoni has innovated surgical techniques like the laparoscopic robotic-assisted “keel” bladder neck construction, offering new solutions for urinary incontinence. As an active member of the European Association of Urology’s Young Academic Urologists working party, he has helped shape international training and research collaborations. His work has directly improved surgical outcomes and quality of life for pediatric patients, cementing his reputation as a pioneer in the field.
