About

Roberto Miano is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for kidney cancer, prostate cancer, and stone disease. His most impactful contributions include a landmark systematic review on robotic radical nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma (71 citations), which helped establish the role of robotics in treating localized kidney tumors when nephron-sparing surgery is not an option. Miano is also recognized for pioneering work in prostate cancer surgery, particularly through his development and critical appraisal of Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (45 citations)—a technique that preserves key anatomical landmarks to maximize nerve-sparing and functional outcomes. His comparative study of laparoscopic versus robot-assisted nerve-sparing prostatectomy (42 citations) demonstrated superior pentafecta rates with the robotic approach. More recently, Miano has contributed to the evidence base for continence-sparing techniques in prostatectomy and explored novel applications of robotic ureteroureterostomy for distal ureteral lesions. With over 200 cumulative citations, his research consistently bridges surgical innovation with rigorous evidence synthesis, shaping best practices in robotic urologic oncology and reconstructive surgery.
