About
Fabio Zattoni is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing robot-assisted surgery for prostate and kidney cancers, with a particular focus on optimizing functional outcomes and surgical safety. His major contributions include pioneering technical innovations to improve urinary continence recovery after radical prostatectomy, such as posterior musculofascial reconstruction and a novel "4-point" ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane block for pain management. Zattoni has also been instrumental in developing global pediatric minimally invasive pyeloplasty standards, as evidenced by his highly cited 2016 study (109 citations). His research on robotic training curricula and open conversion simulations has helped shape safer surgical practices, while his recent meta-analysis of new multiport robotic platforms (2025, 20 citations) demonstrates his continued leadership in evaluating emerging technologies. With over 300 total citations across his most-cited works, Zattoni's impact is reflected in his systematic efforts to validate predictive nomograms incorporating MRI features and his documentation of the robotic evolution from da Vinci standard to single-port systems. His work bridges technical innovation with rigorous outcomes research, making him a key figure in the advancement of minimally invasive urologic surgery.
