About

Tommaso Forlani is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on the integration of advanced technologies in surgical practice, with a particular focus on robot-assisted urology. His most cited study, a 2025 multicenter survey on proctoring in robot-assisted urologic surgery, has already garnered 4 citations, reflecting its timely relevance in an era of rapid technological adoption. Forlani’s major contribution lies in systematically evaluating the role of proctoring—a structured mentorship process—in ensuring safe and effective implementation of robotic procedures. By surveying multiple institutions, he has provided critical insights into training standards, competency assessment, and the barriers to widespread adoption, addressing a key gap in surgical education. His work highlights the importance of standardized protocols to reduce complications and improve patient outcomes in minimally invasive surgery. Forlani’s research is particularly valuable for young surgeons and trainees navigating the complexities of robotic platforms, offering evidence-based guidance on how to bridge the gap between novice and expert performance. Through his focused investigations, he is helping to shape the future of surgical training and quality assurance in urology.
