About
Giorgia Tema is a rising surgical researcher whose work is reshaping how we think about urologic oncology—and even its environmental footprint. Her research centers on robotic and laparoscopic surgery for prostate and kidney cancers, with a particular focus on optimizing surgical techniques to preserve organ function and improve patient outcomes. Tema’s most cited work, “The impact of radical prostatectomy on global climate” (29 citations), is a striking example of her innovative approach, linking surgical practice to environmental sustainability. She has also made significant contributions to renal surgery, pioneering the purely off-clamp sutureless robotic partial nephrectomy technique. Her studies demonstrate that this approach preserves renal function effectively and is safe even when performed by novice robotic surgeons—a finding with major implications for training and dissemination. With additional publications on patient satisfaction and decision regret after prostatectomy, Tema is equally committed to patient-centered outcomes. Her work on renorrhaphy techniques further refines surgical best practices. Though early in her career, Tema’s research is already shaping a more sustainable, accessible, and patient-focused future in urologic surgery.
