About

Dr. Stefania Zamboni is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on the comparative effectiveness of robotic-assisted versus open surgery for bladder and prostate cancer. Her major contributions lie in large-scale, multicentric analyses that rigorously evaluate surgical outcomes. Her most cited study (82 citations) is an international collaboration examining trends in robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) versus open surgery, revealing significant shifts in peri-operative outcomes across North America and Europe. She further advanced this field with a propensity-score matched analysis of nearly 10,000 patients, demonstrating survival outcomes between RARC and open cystectomy. Dr. Zamboni has also conducted randomized controlled trials on surgical technique, such as standard versus delayed ligature of the dorsal vascular complex during robotic prostatectomy. Her work extends to niche areas like robot-assisted partial nephrectomy in ectopic kidneys. With a recent 2025 study on temporal trends in urinary diversion after cystectomy, Dr. Zamboni continues to shape evidence-based practice in urologic oncology, providing critical data that informs surgical decision-making worldwide.
