About

Giovanni Muto is a leading figure in urologic oncology and robotic surgery, with a career defined by advancing minimally invasive techniques for complex genitourinary procedures. His research focuses on optimizing outcomes for bladder and prostate cancer patients, particularly through the evolution of robotic platforms. Muto’s seminal 20-year study on stapled orthotopic ileal neobladders after radical cystectomy (20 citations) established a benchmark for functional results and long-term complication management. He has been at the forefront of next-generation robotics, authoring pioneering multicenter evaluations of the Hugo™ RAS system for partial nephrectomy and pyeloplasty, and demonstrating the feasibility of a “three arms settings” for radical prostatectomy (14 citations). His work on the evolution of robotic machine design (5 citations) provides a critical framework for understanding how hardware innovations translate into improved surgical precision. Muto’s impact is further underscored by his leadership in large-scale Italian national studies, such as the MIRROR-SIU/LUNA and Pros-IT CNR projects, which track over 1,500 patients to map shifts in prostatectomy practice. Through these contributions, he has shaped both the technical standards and the evidence base for modern robotic urologic surgery.
