About
Andrea Minervini is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the forefront of minimally invasive and robot-assisted urological surgery. Based at a leading Italian institution, Minervini has built a distinguished reputation through rigorous clinical investigation of robotic surgical techniques, particularly robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) for renal cell carcinoma. His most impactful contribution—garnering 32 citations—demonstrates that three-dimensional virtual models (3DVMs) significantly enhance surgical planning and outcomes in RAPN, a finding he reinforced in a focused study on high-complexity renal masses (PADUA ≥ 10). This pioneering integration of 3D imaging technology into robotic surgery represents a meaningful advance in precision urology. Beyond renal surgery, Minervini has made notable contributions to prostate surgery, comparing holmium laser enucleation with robot-assisted simple prostatectomy and investigating continence recovery following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy across large multicenter cohorts. His work on the Florence Robotic Intracorporeal Neobladder (FloRIN) further reflects his innovative spirit in reconstructive urology. A recurring theme across his research is the use of propensity-score matching and multi-institutional collaboration, lending methodological rigor to his findings. Collectively, his publications underscore a commitment to improving functional outcomes and refining surgical standards through evidence-based technological innovation.
