About
Nicola Frego is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher at the forefront of robotic surgery innovation, with a particular focus on comparative assessments of emerging robotic platforms. His work has been instrumental in evaluating the Hugo™ Robot-Assisted Surgery (RAS) system against the established Da Vinci® Xi, providing the first comparative evidence for robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, simple prostatectomy, and sacrocolpopexy. With his most-cited paper garnering 60 citations, Frego’s research demonstrates the safety, feasibility, and optimal setup of the Hugo system across a range of urologic procedures, from pyeloplasty to partial nephrectomy. He has also contributed to refining surgical training for radical prostatectomy and advancing same-day discharge protocols, enhancing both patient recovery and surgical education. Frego’s comparative analyses and technical descriptions offer crucial guidance for institutions adopting new robotic technologies, solidifying his role as a key voice in the evolution of minimally invasive urologic surgery.
