About
Dr. Marco Buttazzi is a leading urologic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly in the management of bladder cancer. His major contributions center on the safe and effective implementation of robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC), a complex procedure with a steep learning curve. In his highly cited 2025 study, Dr. Buttazzi demonstrated that a naïve center can successfully adopt RARC without compromising perioperative outcomes or increasing complications, when compared to established open radical cystectomy (ORC) programs. This work, with 3 citations in its first year, provides a critical roadmap for hospitals transitioning to robotic surgery, addressing key barriers like the complexity of urinary diversion. His research is instrumental in proving that with proper training and protocol, the benefits of RARC—including reduced blood loss and faster recovery—can be achieved even in centers new to the technique. Dr. Buttazzi’s work is shaping the future of urologic oncology by making advanced, patient-friendly surgical options more accessible and standardizing best practices for their adoption.
