About
Dr. Giovanni Passaretti is a pioneering urologic surgeon specializing in the advancement of robotic and minimally invasive surgical techniques, with a particular focus on radical prostatectomy and pyeloplasty. His most significant contribution lies in the development and refinement of robotic laparoendoscopic single-site radical prostatectomy (R-LESS-RP) using the daVinci Single-Site® platform, a technique he systematically evaluated through the IDEAL framework (Phase 1), as detailed in his highly cited 2018 work (23 citations). Dr. Passaretti has also introduced innovative modifications to robot-assisted pyeloplasty, including the "window technique" and the use of the Contour™ stent, which minimizes retroperitoneal incision and improves outcomes, as demonstrated in his analysis of the first 30 cases. His work extends to challenging anatomical scenarios, such as robotic surgery in patients with achondroplastic dwarfism, where he assessed risks during bilateral partial nephrectomy. With a career dedicated to pushing the boundaries of single-site and scarless surgery, Dr. Passaretti’s contributions have laid the groundwork for safer, less invasive urologic procedures, earning him recognition as a key innovator in the field.
