About
Federico Piramide is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the cutting edge of robotic surgery, augmented reality, and minimally invasive urology. Based primarily within high-volume robotic surgical centers, Piramide has distinguished himself through pioneering the integration of three-dimensional imaging and augmented reality technologies into robot-assisted procedures, particularly partial nephrectomy and radical prostatectomy. His most cited work — a 2019 study with 188 citations — demonstrated that augmented reality guidance could surpass traditional ultrasound in navigating complex kidney tumors during robotic surgery, establishing a new intraoperative standard. This was complemented by his research on computer vision-driven 3D overlapping using indocyanine green, signaling the emergence of increasingly automated surgical guidance systems. His 2023 work on metaverse-based surgical planning further reflects his commitment to pushing technological boundaries. Piramide has also contributed meaningfully to comparative evidence on emerging robotic platforms, including early evaluations of the Hugo RAS system against the da Vinci robot, accumulating over 120 citations across these studies alone. His systematic reviews on anatomical reconstruction for continence recovery and single-port prostatectomy underscore his dedication to improving patient functional outcomes. With over 700 cumulative citations, his body of work is shaping the future of precision robotic urology.
