About
Dr. Mattia Luca Piccinelli is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing robot-assisted surgery for prostate and testicular cancers. His major contributions lie in refining surgical techniques to improve oncologic outcomes while preserving patient quality of life. Dr. Piccinelli is best known for championing the Retzius-sparing approach to robotic radical prostatectomy, demonstrating its feasibility and benefits even for surgeons in the learning curve—a finding supported by a propensity score–matched analysis that has garnered 36 citations. He has also been at the forefront of intraoperative imaging, evaluating ex vivo fluorescence confocal microscopy against frozen section analysis for margin assessment during prostatectomy, and exploring augmented reality to reduce positive surgical margins in a phase 3 randomized trial. His work extends to testicular cancer, comparing open and robot-assisted retroperitoneal lymph node dissection. With a growing citation impact and a portfolio that includes technical innovations and rigorous clinical trials, Dr. Piccinelli is shaping the future of precision, minimally invasive urologic oncology.
