About
Sara Simona Lazzaretti is a pioneering researcher in the field of telesurgery and robotic-assisted urological surgery. Her work focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly through the evaluation and validation of novel telesurgical systems. Lazzaretti’s major contributions center on the Telelap Alf-X, a groundbreaking robotic platform that integrates haptic (tactile) sensation—a feature absent in many existing systems—along with eye-tracking camera control and an open-site view. In her most cited study (23 citations), she demonstrated the feasibility of performing vesicourethral anastomosis, a technically demanding step in radical prostatectomy, using the Telelap Alf-X in a swine model. A second key paper (18 citations) expanded this work to experimental nephrectomies, further proving the system’s versatility. Her research has been published in high-impact journals such as the *Journal of Urology*, and she has collaborated with leading figures like Stefano Gidaro. By showing that haptic feedback can enhance precision in robotic surgery, Lazzaretti has helped pave the way for more intuitive, safer telesurgical platforms, directly impacting the future of urological care and surgical training.
