About

Romano T. DeMarco is a pediatric urologist whose work sits at the cutting edge of minimally invasive and robotic surgery in children. His research focuses on pediatric robotic-assisted laparoscopic procedures, urinary tract reconstruction, and the surgical management of complex congenital urological anomalies. DeMarco's most influential contribution — a 2012 paper describing robot-assisted laparoscopic ipsilateral ureteroureterostomy for ectopic ureters in children, which has garnered 51 citations — helped establish a refined surgical technique for managing ureteral duplication, a challenging pediatric condition. His subsequent work has pushed the boundaries of innovation further, exploring single-port robotic platforms for procedures such as pyeloplasty and nephroureterectomy, placing him among the early adopters of this emerging technology in pediatric populations. DeMarco has also contributed meaningfully to intraoperative safety, demonstrating the utility of indocyanine green near-infrared fluorescence imaging to assess ureteral perfusion during reconstruction. His management of rare conditions like Zinner syndrome further highlights the breadth of his surgical expertise. Across his body of work, DeMarco consistently advances minimally invasive options for pediatric patients, reducing surgical morbidity while tackling complex anatomical challenges.
