About

Stefania Ferretti is a leading urological surgeon whose research is reshaping the landscape of robotic kidney cancer surgery and surgical training. Her work centers on advancing minimally invasive techniques, particularly robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN), where she has pioneered the integration of new imaging technologies to improve precision and patient outcomes. Her most cited paper, "New imaging technologies for robotic kidney cancer surgery" (2022, 18 citations), addresses the critical challenge of optimizing tumor resection while preserving healthy kidney tissue. Ferretti is also at the forefront of surgical education, as demonstrated by her highly influential narrative review on robotic training for radical prostatectomy (2024, 11 citations), which explores the critical transition from simulation to live surgery. Her research extends to donor nephrectomy, where she has conducted systematic reviews and meta-analyses to evaluate surgical approaches, and to the innovative application of ultrasonographic-guided robotic systems for percutaneous nephrolithotomy. With a growing body of work that bridges cutting-edge technology, clinical practice, and training methodologies, Ferretti is a key voice in the evolution of robotic urology, helping to define safer, more effective standards for both surgeons and patients.
