About

Valeria Tringali is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing robotic-assisted surgery for kidney and prostate cancers. Her major contributions lie in demonstrating the long-term safety and efficacy of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN), particularly in elderly patients—a population often underrepresented in surgical trials. Her 2019 study on long-term oncologic and functional outcomes after RAPN in elderly patients (35 citations) provides critical evidence that age alone should not preclude patients from receiving nephron-sparing surgery. Tringali also pioneered the integration of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) with frozen-section analysis to improve surgical precision during nerve-sparing robotic prostatectomy (23 citations), reducing positive surgical margins and enhancing functional recovery. Her 5-year oncological outcomes paper (26 citations) established benchmark data for RAPN at a European tertiary cancer center. Through her work on simple enucleation of renal masses, she has refined surgical techniques to minimize complications while maximizing renal function preservation. With a cumulative citation impact exceeding 100, Tringali’s research directly shapes clinical guidelines for robotic urologic oncology, offering patients safer, more effective surgical options.
