About
Michele Romano is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work centers on minimally invasive surgical management of complex kidney stone disease, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted techniques. His major contribution lies in advancing robotic pyelolithotomy (RPL) as a safe and effective treatment for large renal stones, a procedure traditionally managed with more invasive approaches. Romano’s landmark study, “Robotic pyelolithotomy for the treatment of large renal stones: a single-center experience,” remains the largest reported series of its kind, detailing outcomes from 70 complex cases. This work has garnered 11 citations and serves as a foundational reference for surgeons adopting robotic approaches in endourology. By demonstrating the feasibility and reproducibility of RPL, Romano has helped shift the paradigm toward less invasive stone surgery, reducing patient morbidity while maintaining high stone-free rates. His research is particularly valuable for trainees and practicing urologists seeking evidence-based guidance on robotic stone management. Through his single-center experience, Romano has established a benchmark for future multi-institutional studies and continues to influence the evolution of robotic urology.
