About

Marco Allasia is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive urologic oncology, with a primary focus on robotic-assisted surgery for complex renal and pediatric conditions. His work has significantly expanded the boundaries of nephron-sparing surgery, particularly for high-risk patients. Allasia’s major contributions include pioneering the first-ever awake robotic partial nephrectomy under continuous spinal anesthesia, a landmark case (2022, 6 citations) that demonstrated the feasibility of avoiding general anesthesia in frail, comorbid patients. He has also refined surgical techniques for challenging anatomies, such as robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty in pediatric patients with horseshoe kidney (2016, 20 citations), providing a detailed technical roadmap for managing uretero-pelvic junction obstruction in this rare population. His participation in the RECORD 2 multicentre prospective study (2020, 12 citations) further validated the safety and efficacy of partial nephrectomy in frail, comorbid patients with renal cell carcinoma, offering crucial evidence for expanding surgical candidacy. With a growing citation impact, Allasia’s work is defining a new era of patient-tailored, minimally invasive urologic surgery, making him a key voice in the field.
