About
Dr. S. Giancane is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of robot-assisted kidney transplantation (RAKT). His research centers on developing and validating minimally invasive surgical techniques for end-stage renal disease, with a particular focus on expanding the indications for RAKT from deceased donors—a historically challenging application. Dr. Giancane’s major contributions include codifying the University of Florence technique, a standardized robotic approach that has been adopted internationally. He has demonstrated the safety and efficacy of RAKT through landmark prospective studies, including a direct comparison with open kidney transplantation (35 citations), and has introduced innovative intraoperative tools such as indocyanine green fluorescence videography to assess graft and ureteral reperfusion (29 citations). His work on predictive factors for complications after partial nephrectomy (52 citations) further underscores his commitment to improving surgical outcomes. Dr. Giancane’s impact is evidenced by his highly cited publications, which have collectively shaped modern practice in robotic renal surgery and transplantation.
