About
Dr. Vincenzo Coppola is a pioneering pediatric surgeon and urologist whose work is reshaping minimally invasive surgery for children. His research centers on three key areas: the adoption of Indocyanine Green (ICG) fluorescence imaging, the advancement of robotic-assisted surgery, and the refinement of techniques for pediatric urological conditions. Dr. Coppola’s major contributions include demonstrating the safety and efficacy of ICG-guided near-infrared fluorescence in laparoscopic and robotic procedures, with landmark papers on its use in pediatric urology (62 citations) and general surgery (85 citations). He has also been instrumental in establishing robotic-assisted pyeloplasty as a new gold standard for ureteropelvic junction obstruction, as evidenced by his highly cited systematic review (60 citations). His work extends to robot-assisted ureteral reimplantation for vesicoureteral reflux and the management of ovarian masses, where he integrates fluorescence technology. With over 330 total citations across his most-cited works, Dr. Coppola’s impact is clear. Notably, his 2025 review of 105 robotic procedures over seven years provides critical insights into outcomes and training, solidifying his role as a leader in pediatric surgical innovation.
