About
Salvatore Basile is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher at the forefront of robotic-assisted surgery, with a primary focus on advancing nephron-sparing techniques and prostate cancer management. His most significant contributions center on the clinical implementation and optimization of the novel Hugo™ RAS system for robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN), where he has established standardized trocar placement and docking protocols that have streamlined three-arm configurations. His landmark 2023 paper on Hugo RAS trocar settings has garnered 34 citations, while his subsequent 2024 feasibility study on off-clamp RAPN with the system has accumulated 16 citations, demonstrating his role as an early adopter and thought leader in this emerging technology. Basile has also developed a novel proficiency score to assess surgical quality during the learning curve from laparoscopic to robotic surgery, addressing a critical gap in skill transfer validation. His research extends to predicting positive surgical margins in radical prostatectomy and creating CT-derived signatures to guide reconstructive strategies after partial nephrectomy. Most recently, he has proposed a urodynamic trifecta scoring system for orthotopic neobladders following radical cystectomy, showcasing his commitment to standardizing functional outcomes. His work consistently bridges surgical innovation with rigorous outcomes assessment.
