About
Matteo Ciaccia is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing robotic surgery for prostate cancer, with a particular focus on improving surgical precision and patient outcomes. His most-cited study, "Robot-assisted nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy using near-infrared fluorescence technology and indocyanine green" (2017, 40 citations), introduced a novel technique that leverages indocyanine green and near-infrared imaging to enhance intraoperative visualization of critical structures, such as nerves and blood vessels, during robotic prostatectomy. This contribution has helped refine nerve-sparing approaches, potentially reducing postoperative complications like erectile dysfunction and incontinence. In a subsequent study (2020, 7 citations), Ciaccia investigated the role of the bedside assistant during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, challenging the assumption that outcomes depend solely on the console surgeon. His findings underscore the importance of the entire surgical team, offering insights that can improve training and perioperative care. Through these works, Ciaccia has made meaningful strides in urologic oncology, blending technological innovation with a team-based perspective to elevate the standard of care for prostate cancer patients.
