About
Riccardo Bertolo is a distinguished urological surgeon and researcher whose work has profoundly shaped the landscape of minimally invasive and robot-assisted urology. With a body of research accumulating over 1,250 citations across his most impactful publications alone, Bertolo has established himself as a leading authority in robotic partial nephrectomy, radical prostatectomy, and surgical innovation. His pioneering contributions include the development of hyperaccuracy three-dimensional reconstruction techniques to optimize selective clamping during complex renal surgery (175 citations), and the validation of 3D-printed virtual models to enhance both surgical planning and patient understanding (168 citations). Through large multicenter collaborations such as the ROSULA group and the RECORd Project, Bertolo has generated robust comparative evidence for robotic approaches across varying tumor complexities, demonstrating their safety, efficacy, and functional advantages over traditional techniques. Bertolo has also been at the forefront of single-port robotic surgery, contributing some of the earliest clinical investigations using dedicated SP platforms. His work on total anatomical reconstruction during radical prostatectomy, linked to earlier recovery of urinary continence, reflects his commitment to optimizing patient quality of life. Collectively, his research bridges technological innovation with meaningful clinical outcomes, making him an essential reference for trainees and researchers in urological surgery.
