About
Dr. Michele Manica is a urologic surgeon whose research focuses on minimally invasive techniques for complex urological conditions, particularly urinary fistulas and prostate cancer management. His most cited work, a 2013 study on using N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate for minimally invasive treatment of persistent urinary fistulas, established this approach as a valid first-line option, offering patients a less invasive alternative to traditional surgery. With 20 citations, this paper has influenced clinical practice in fistula management. Dr. Manica has also made significant contributions to the field of robotic prostate surgery. In a 2019 study, he compared the initial robotic experience of a high-volume open surgeon with his contemporary open series, providing valuable insights into the learning curve for robot-assisted radical prostatectomy and extended pelvic lymph node dissection. This work, though early in its citation history, addresses a critical question in surgical training and outcomes. Dr. Manica’s research bridges the gap between open and robotic techniques, advancing patient care through evidence-based, minimally invasive approaches.
