About
Dr. Antonio Celia is a leading urologic surgeon whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive techniques for kidney and prostate surgery, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted procedures. His most significant contributions stem from the landmark CLOCK randomized controlled trial (NCT02287987), which rigorously compared on-clamp versus off-clamp robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN). This work, published in high-impact journals with over 100 citations, has provided critical evidence on functional outcomes and safety, directly influencing surgical decision-making to preserve renal function. Dr. Celia has also shaped clinical practice through large multi-institutional analyses, such as the RECORD 2 Project, comparing transperitoneal and retroperitoneal approaches for partial nephrectomy, and through comparative studies of robotic versus laparoscopic simple prostatectomy. His research extends to challenging scenarios, including percutaneous ablation versus RAPN for endophytic renal masses and treatment of solitary kidneys, with papers accumulating over 40 citations. With a portfolio of highly cited work—including studies on robotic partial adrenalectomy for Conn’s syndrome—Dr. Celia’s contributions have established evidence-based benchmarks for perioperative outcomes, complication rates, and functional recovery, making him a pivotal figure in the evolution of robotic urologic oncology.
