About
Ettore Mearini is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive and robotic surgical techniques for complex urologic cancers. His most significant contributions lie in the development and refinement of the PERUSIA (Posterior, Extraperitoneal, Robotic, Under Santorini, Intrafascial, Anterograde) technique for radical prostatectomy, a neurovascular-sparing approach that has garnered over 58 citations across his foundational papers. Mearini has demonstrated that this extraperitoneal robotic method can achieve excellent oncologic and functional outcomes, even in high-risk prostate cancer patients, while reducing complications. Beyond prostate cancer, he has expanded the frontiers of robotic surgery to treat rare and challenging conditions, including colovesical fistulas, oligometastatic kidney tumors with pancreatic metastases, giant adrenal myelolipomas, and synchronous renal and colorectal malignancies. His case reports and reviews on these topics have accumulated over 100 citations, establishing him as a leading voice in robotic urologic oncology. Mearini’s innovative work, particularly his PERUSIA technique and combined robotic resections, has reshaped surgical practice, offering patients less invasive options for complex, multi-site disease.
