About
Raffaele Muscariello is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive robotic surgery for complex urologic cancers. His primary research areas include robot-assisted nephroureterectomy, partial nephrectomy, retroperitoneal lymph node dissection, and radical prostatectomy, with a particular focus on single-port (da Vinci SP®) techniques and nerve-sparing approaches. Muscariello’s major contributions include developing and refining the supine anterior approach for single-port robot-assisted nephroureterectomy (16 citations), which offers a less invasive alternative for high-risk upper tract urothelial carcinoma. He has also advanced the understanding of neuropathic complications following robot-assisted prostatectomy (12 citations), helping surgeons mitigate iatrogenic nerve injuries. His work on post-chemotherapy robot-assisted retroperitoneal lymph node dissection for non-seminomatous germ cell tumors (10 citations) has improved surgical morbidity while preserving sexual and reproductive function. Notably, Muscariello reported the first Italian experience with da Vinci SP® robot-assisted partial nephrectomy via supine anterior retroperitoneal access (2025), demonstrating the feasibility of single-port redo partial nephrectomy. His cumulative work, with over 48 citations across key papers, positions him as a leader in robotic urologic oncology, pushing the boundaries of what is achievable with single-port systems.
