About
Dr. Giuseppe Cardo is a leading urologic surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive robotic surgery for complex urological conditions, with a particular focus on prostate cancer and kidney stone disease. His major contributions include pioneering the refinement of extraperitoneal robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (eRARP), a technique that reduces operative trauma and speeds recovery. In a landmark study from a high-volume center (31 citations), he demonstrated the safety and efficacy of this approach, establishing a benchmark for robotic prostate surgery. Dr. Cardo also leads in the management of large renal stones, with his single-center experience on robotic pyelolithotomy (11 citations) representing one of the largest series reported, showcasing the procedure’s effectiveness for complex cases. His innovative work extends to rare congenital anomalies, such as robot-assisted excision of seminal vesicle cysts with ipsilateral renal agenesis (5 citations), and he is at the forefront of evaluating next-generation robotic platforms, including the Hugo™ RAS system. Additionally, his prospective study on urinary NGAL as an early biomarker for acute kidney injury after partial nephrectomy (3 citations) highlights his commitment to improving renal preservation. Through over 1,500 patients in national comparative studies, Dr. Cardo has shaped the evolution of radical prostatectomy in Italy, solidifying his reputation as a transformative figure in robotic urology.
