About
Matteo Zanoni is a pioneering robotic surgeon whose research centers on improving functional outcomes after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), with a particular focus on accelerating urinary continence recovery. His most significant contribution is the development and refinement of the autologous suburethral sling technique—a novel approach using the patient’s own vas deferens or absorbable sutures to restore sphincteric support during RARP. Zanoni’s work, including a prospective randomized study (2017), has systematically compared simple versus six-branch sling configurations, demonstrating measurable improvements in early continence. His innovative “retroperfusion sphincterometry” method (2017) provides intraoperative urodynamic validation of sling efficacy. With over 120 citations across his top-cited works, Zanoni has also advanced surgical ergonomics through side-docking techniques for the da Vinci system (2015) and explored extraperitoneal single-site robotic hernioplasty (2016). More recently, he has ventured into prostate cancer risk stratification using electronic nose (eNose) urine odor analysis (2024), reflecting a broader interest in non-invasive diagnostics. His cumulative work has established him as a leading figure in robotic urologic reconstruction, directly addressing one of the most persistent quality-of-life challenges in prostate cancer surgery.
