About
Dr. Marcello Carlucci is a pioneering pediatric urologist whose work is reshaping the surgical management of ureterovesical junction (UVJ) pathologies in children. His primary research focuses on the transition from open to robotic-assisted laparoscopic ureteral reimplantation (RALUR), with a specific emphasis on treating complex conditions like vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). Dr. Carlucci’s major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility and safety of robotic ureteral reimplantation and uretero-ureterostomy, providing detailed technical considerations that have helped standardize these minimally invasive procedures. His landmark 2022 paper on robotic treatment of UVJ pathologies has garnered 11 citations, establishing a foundational reference in the field. More recently, his 2025 analysis of the first 100 RALUR cases—a study with 6 citations—offers critical insights into the learning curve, showing how surgical teams can overcome initial challenges to achieve improved patient outcomes. By systematically documenting the evolution from open to robotic surgery, Dr. Carlucci’s work provides a roadmap for pediatric surgeons worldwide, ultimately advancing the standard of care for children with urological conditions.
