About

Dr. Luca Morgantini is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher whose work is revolutionizing minimally invasive surgery through the advancement of single-port (SP) robotic platforms. His primary research areas include robotic-assisted urologic oncology, single-port surgical techniques, and gender-affirming surgery. Dr. Morgantini’s major contributions center on developing and validating novel retroperitoneal approaches for single-port partial nephrectomy and prostatectomy, demonstrating that these techniques can match or exceed the outcomes of traditional multi-port systems while reducing patient trauma. His landmark 2023 paper on simplifying retroperitoneal robotic single-port surgery has garnered 80 citations, and his propensity-matched comparisons from the SPARC consortium (53 citations) provide critical evidence for the safety and efficacy of SP technology. With over 300 total citations, Dr. Morgantini has also characterized the learning curve for SP urological surgery (24 citations) and explored patient-reported outcomes, showing advantages in cosmesis and pain. Notably, his work extends to gender-affirming vaginoplasty, where he has studied outcomes in obese populations. Dr. Morgantini’s research is shaping the future of urologic surgery, making complex procedures less invasive and more accessible.
