About
Giovanni Motterle is a urologic surgeon whose research focuses on refining minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, and improving patient safety in urologic oncology. His most cited work, a 2019 systematic review on lymphocele prevention during robotic prostatectomy and lymph node dissection (23 citations), systematically evaluates strategies to mitigate this common and potentially severe complication, directly impacting postoperative care. Motterle has also advanced the understanding of rare but critical risks, such as tumor seeding after robotic surgery, through a comprehensive literature review and single-institution experience (13 citations). During the COVID-19 pandemic, he provided timely evidence from two high-volume Italian centers demonstrating that minimally invasive urologic surgery remains safe (9 citations), helping to guide clinical practice during a global health crisis. His case series on salvage radical prostatectomy after failed initial robotic surgery further underscores his expertise in complex, high-stakes procedures. With a career dedicated to evidence-based improvements in surgical outcomes, Motterle’s work continues to shape best practices in urologic oncology and perioperative care.
