About
Marco Covotta is a leading anesthesiologist and researcher whose work sits at the critical intersection of robotic surgery and perioperative medicine. His primary research focuses on optimizing anesthetic and surgical techniques for complex urologic oncology procedures, particularly robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) and partial nephrectomy. Covotta has made landmark contributions to the field, most notably as a lead author on a randomized controlled trial comparing robot-assisted radical cystectomy with totally intracorporeal urinary diversion to the open approach, reporting three-year outcomes that have already garnered 48 citations. His work on ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane blocks for robotic partial nephrectomy (43 citations) established a new standard for multimodal pain management, reducing both acute and chronic postsurgical pain. Covotta has also pioneered investigations into valveless trocars to improve respiratory mechanics during prolonged pneumoperitoneum and has explored sutureless off-clamp techniques that preserve renal function without compromising surgical outcomes. With multiple high-impact publications and a sustained focus on randomized clinical trials, Covotta’s research continues to shape best practices in robotic urologic surgery and anesthesia.
