About

Andrea Pacchetti is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work is advancing the frontiers of robotic surgery for genitourinary cancers, with a particular focus on bladder and prostate cancer. Her primary research areas include robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC), nephron-sparing surgery, and functional outcomes in female patients. She has made significant contributions to understanding the safety and efficacy of robotic approaches, notably through a comprehensive systematic review on port-site metastases after RARC (27 citations) and a pioneering step-by-step guide for sexual-sparing RARC in women (15 citations). Her recent work comparing open versus robotic cystectomy for pT4a bladder cancer (4 citations) provides crucial evidence for surgical decision-making in advanced disease. Pacchetti has also explored innovative techniques such as indocyanine green-marked fluorescence-guided off-clamp partial nephrectomy (3 citations) and the interpretation of PSMA-PET imaging among urologists (1 citation). Her research consistently emphasizes improving oncologic outcomes while preserving quality of life, making her a leading voice in the evolution of minimally invasive urologic oncology.
