About

Dr. S. Caroassai is a leading figure in robotic transplant surgery, with a focused expertise in minimally invasive living donor nephrectomy and kidney transplantation. Their major contributions center on pioneering and codifying advanced robotic techniques to improve donor and recipient outcomes. Dr. Caroassai was instrumental in developing the "University of Florence technique" for robot-assisted laparoscopic living donor nephrectomy, a step-by-step protocol published in 2021 that has become a reference in the field (31 citations). They further advanced the field by demonstrating the feasibility and safety of performing both the donor nephrectomy and the kidney transplant in a fully robotic, twin-dedicated operating room, as detailed in their 2019 study (6 citations). This innovative "full robot-assisted" approach represents a significant leap in surgical integration and precision. Dr. Caroassai’s work, conducted at a high-volume robotic center, has helped establish new standards for perioperative care and technical reproducibility, making them a key contributor to the evolution of robotic transplant surgery.
