About
Dr. Giorgio Franco is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive robotic techniques for prostate and kidney cancer. His major contributions include defining the learning curve for single-port robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (SP-RARP), demonstrating that it is no longer than multi-port approaches while maintaining safety and oncologic outcomes—a finding with over 9 citations. Dr. Franco has also revolutionized nephron-sparing surgery through his work on purely off-clamp sutureless robotic partial nephrectomy, showing this technique effectively preserves renal function with high safety, earning 8 citations. His real-life comparative analyses of robotic versus laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, with 5 citations, provide crucial evidence on functional and oncological parity. Additionally, his national database study on postoperative urinary incontinence after BPH surgery (8 citations) offers vital insights into complication rates. Dr. Franco’s systematic review of the Da Vinci Single-Port system in Europe positions him as a key voice in the adoption of next-generation robotic platforms. His work, totaling over 40 citations, directly impacts surgical training and patient outcomes, making him a leading figure in the evolution of robotic urology.
