About
Ivano Morra is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of robotic and minimally invasive surgery for prostate and kidney cancers. His major contributions center on refining surgical techniques to improve oncologic control while dramatically enhancing patients’ quality of life. Morra is best known for leading the first randomized controlled trial comparing laparoscopic and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (252 citations), which provided crucial evidence for the superiority of the robotic approach. He has been a driving force behind Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, demonstrating through systematic review (159 citations) that this technique offers significantly faster recovery of urinary continence. His innovative work on total anatomical reconstruction during prostatectomy (136 citations) has further improved early continence outcomes. In renal surgery, Morra introduced three-dimensional augmented reality guidance for robot-assisted partial nephrectomy in complex tumors (188 citations), overcoming the limitations of traditional ultrasound. A leader within the European Association of Urology, his research on 3D imaging applications (68 citations) has helped standardize advanced visualization tools in robotic urology. With over 800 total citations, Morra’s work continues to shape the standard of care in urologic oncology.
