About
Francesco Ziglioli is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques and improving the diagnostic pathway for urologic cancers, with a particular focus on prostate and renal cell carcinoma. His most cited work, a 2020 narrative review on multiparametric MRI in prostate cancer management, has garnered 8 citations and highlights his expertise in how imaging is reshaping diagnosis—arguing that MRI-targeted biopsy is poised to become the new standard. Ziglioli has also made notable contributions to robotic surgery, demonstrating technical innovation in rare and complex cases. He reported the first robotic transposition and ureteroureterostomy for a type 1 retrocaval ureter (2023), a rare congenital anomaly, achieving a complication-free outcome. More recently, he has pioneered simultaneous bilateral robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy using a dual transperitoneal and retroperitoneal approach (2025), and championed the retroperitoneal approach for partial nephrectomy as a proven, underutilized technique in the era of minimally invasive surgery. Through these contributions, Ziglioli is helping to define safer, more effective surgical standards for complex urologic conditions.
