About
Luca Carmignani is a leading urologic surgeon whose research centers on robotic and minimally invasive surgical techniques for prostate and bladder cancers, as well as complex benign conditions like colovesical fistula. His most impactful work, a 2011 study comparing transfusion requirements in open versus robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (59 citations), helped establish the safety and reduced morbidity of the robotic approach. Carmignani has also made significant contributions to understanding perioperative outcomes, including a 2018 analysis of in-hospital length of stay after major oncological procedures (44 citations) and a population-based comparison of open versus robotic radical cystectomy (22 citations). His meta-analyses on the feasibility of prostatectomy in patients with prior mesh hernia repair (19 citations) and on minimally invasive inguinal hernia repair after radical prostatectomy (4 citations) have guided surgical decision-making in complex scenarios. More recently, his systematic review on colovesical fistula (9 citations) mapped evolving treatment pathways. Through these works, Carmignani has accumulated over 170 citations, demonstrating his sustained influence on evidence-based urologic surgery and patient outcomes.
