About

Stefano Galli is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work has centered on advancing minimally invasive techniques for complex reconstructive procedures, particularly in bladder cancer surgery. His most significant contribution is the development and refinement of the laparoscopic neobladder, a groundbreaking approach that allows for complete bladder removal and reconstruction through small incisions, dramatically reducing recovery time and surgical morbidity compared to traditional open surgery. His landmark 2002 paper, "Minimally Invasive Laparoscopic Neobladder," with 55 citations, remains a foundational reference in the field, demonstrating the feasibility and safety of this technically demanding procedure. Galli’s work has helped shift the paradigm of urinary diversion, making laparoscopic orthotopic neobladder a viable and increasingly preferred option for select patients. Beyond this, his research has explored other aspects of laparoscopic urology, contributing to the broader adoption of robotic and minimally invasive techniques in urologic oncology. With a career dedicated to surgical innovation, Galli has influenced both clinical practice and surgical education, inspiring a generation of urologists to push the boundaries of what is possible with minimally invasive surgery.
