About

Alessandro Crestani is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive and robotic surgery for urologic cancers, with a particular focus on kidney and prostate cancer. He is best known for developing the Simplified PADUA REnal (SPARE) nephrometry system (2019, 72 citations), a novel classification that simplifies the prediction of complications in patients undergoing partial nephrectomy. This contribution has helped standardize surgical planning for renal tumors. Crestani has also made significant strides in robotic prostatectomy, introducing the CORPUS technique (2014, 33 citations)—a complete reconstruction of the posterior urethral support that dramatically improves early continence recovery. His systematic reviews on minimally invasive surgery for renal cell carcinoma with inferior vena cava thrombosis (54 citations) and on novel multiport robotic platforms (2024, 26 citations) have shaped current surgical guidelines. With over 300 total citations, Crestani’s work bridges surgical innovation and clinical outcomes, offering practical tools that enhance both oncologic control and patients’ postoperative quality of life.
