About
Filiberto Zattoni is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work has fundamentally shaped the field of robot-assisted surgery for prostate and kidney cancers. His most significant contributions come from a landmark series of systematic reviews and meta-analyses published in 2012, which collectively have garnered over 3,100 citations. These studies provided the first comprehensive, evidence-based benchmarks for urinary continence recovery, potency rates, perioperative complications, and oncologic outcomes following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, establishing the standard against which all subsequent surgical innovations are measured. Beyond these foundational reviews, Zattoni has pioneered novel surgical techniques to improve patient quality of life. He developed the CORPUS technique for complete posterior urethral support reconstruction, demonstrating promising early continence recovery, and the P.L.E.A.T. technique for preventing lymphoceles after lymph node dissection. His work extends to comparative effectiveness research, including a multicentre matched-pair analysis of robot-assisted versus open partial nephrectomy, and prospective randomized studies on anesthetic effects of different surgical approaches. Through rigorous evidence synthesis and technical innovation, Zattoni has advanced the safety, efficacy, and functional outcomes of minimally invasive urologic oncology.
