About
Ilaria Romito is a rising figure in urologic surgery, whose work sharpens the focus on patient safety and surgical innovation. Her primary research areas center on the complications and technological evolution of radical prostatectomy and renal surgery. Romito’s major contribution lies in her rigorous, evidence-based synthesis of rare but critical adverse events. Her most-cited work, a 2023 systematic review and meta-analysis on the incidence of rectal injury after radical prostatectomy (18 citations), provides a definitive, pooled estimate of this dreaded complication, clarifying its risk and informing preoperative counseling and intraoperative vigilance. This analysis is essential reading for surgeons aiming to mitigate severe sequelae like rectourethral fistula. More recently, she has tackled the frontier of surgical robotics, authoring a 2025 systematic review comparing single-port and multiport robot-assisted approaches in prostate and renal procedures (3 citations). This work addresses the pressing question of whether reduced port counts compromise outcomes, offering early, crucial data for technology adoption. Through her meticulous meta-analyses, Romito is establishing a foundation for safer, more effective minimally invasive urologic care.
