About
Dr. M. Carini is a distinguished urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for kidney and urinary tract disorders. Her major contributions lie in the comparative effectiveness of robotic-assisted versus open partial nephrectomy, as demonstrated by her landmark 2013 study within the AGILE project, which prospectively compared perioperative outcomes across multiple centers and has garnered 10 citations. This work helped establish the safety and efficacy profile of robotic approaches in nephron-sparing surgery. Dr. Carini has also significantly advanced understanding of recurrence patterns after partial nephrectomy through the RECORd 1 project, identifying predictors of local recurrence over two-year follow-up. Her expertise extends to complex reconstructive urology, where she has reported on combined robotic pyeloplasty with endoscopic stone removal for ureteropelvic junction obstruction with concurrent urolithiasis. Through these prospective multicenter studies and single-center experiences, Dr. Carini has provided crucial evidence guiding surgical decision-making, improving perioperative outcomes, and refining patient selection for kidney-sparing procedures. Her work continues to shape contemporary urologic practice by demonstrating the benefits and limitations of robotic technology in renal surgery.
