About
Antonio Piccione is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing robotic-assisted surgical techniques, particularly for prostate cancer treatment. His work centers on refining Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RS-RARP), a nerve-sparing approach that improves postoperative continence and erectile function. Piccione’s major contributions include the first comprehensive prospective analysis of intraoperative complications during RS-RARP, providing critical safety data from a high-volume center—a study that has already garnered 7 citations since 2024. He also demonstrated the feasibility of performing RS-RARP using the Hugo™ robotic system, achieving successful outcomes in 26 patients and expanding surgical options beyond the da Vinci platform. Additionally, his updated review on learning curves for robotic urologic procedures (including single-port surgery) offers essential guidance for training the next generation of surgeons. With a growing citation impact and a focus on both technical innovation and patient safety, Piccione is shaping the future of minimally invasive urologic oncology.
