About

Marcelo Di Gregorio is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work centers on the evolution of minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly in the treatment of ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO). His major contribution lies in demonstrating the feasibility and safety of transitioning from open and laparoscopic approaches to robotic-assisted surgery for complex urological procedures. In his highly cited study, "Passing from open to robotic surgery for dismembered pyeloplasty: a single centre experience" (2014, 11 citations), Di Gregorio provides compelling evidence that robotic pyeloplasty achieves outcomes comparable to traditional open and laparoscopic methods, while offering the benefits of reduced invasiveness and enhanced precision. This work has helped pave the way for broader adoption of robotic technology in urology, influencing surgical training and patient care protocols. Di Gregorio’s research underscores a commitment to advancing surgical innovation, improving recovery times, and minimizing complications for patients. His findings serve as a valuable resource for surgeons and researchers exploring the integration of robotics into routine clinical practice, marking him as a key figure in the ongoing shift toward minimally invasive urologic surgery.
