About
Dr. Marco Cossu is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive techniques for prostate and bladder cancer management. His most impactful contribution is in the field of prostate cancer diagnostics, where his 2016 study (49 citations) demonstrated that multiparametric-MRI/ultrasound fusion targeted biopsy significantly improves agreement between biopsy and final surgical Gleason scores compared to standard untargeted biopsy—a finding that directly enhances treatment planning and reduces under-grading. Dr. Cossu has also been at the forefront of robotic surgery innovation. His 2021 study (19 citations) on robot-assisted radical cystectomy with total intracorporeal Y-neobladder provided critical analysis of postoperative complications and functional outcomes using urodynamics, advancing reconstructive techniques. More recently, in 2023, he reported early experience (12 citations) with the Ily® Robot for ureteroscopy, showcasing a novel wireless-controlled ureteroscope holder that promises greater precision in stone surgery. Earlier in his career, he contributed to the evolution of laparoscopic Millin prostatectomy (2007). Through these works, Dr. Cossu has established himself as a key figure in the translation of robotic and image-guided technologies into improved surgical outcomes.
