About
Matteo Droghetti is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research sits at the intersection of advanced surgical robotics and immersive digital visualization. His primary contributions center on developing and validating augmented reality (AR) and three-dimensional (3D) virtual modeling to guide complex oncologic procedures, particularly robot-assisted radical prostatectomy and partial nephrectomy. In his landmark 2020 study (74 citations), Droghetti demonstrated how real-time AR overlays of 3D reconstructions onto the surgical field could transform preoperative planning for robotic prostatectomy. He further refined this approach by integrating intraoperative frozen section guidance with AR (61 citations), significantly improving surgical precision. His work extends to renal cancer, where he introduced novel volumetric parameters from 3D models to better predict surgical complexity and complications (25 and 23 citations). Beyond visualization, Droghetti has contributed to perioperative care, showing that robotic approaches enhance Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols for radical cystectomy (19 citations). Most recently, he has explored the molecular basis of prostate cancer imaging, investigating PSMA immunohistochemistry to optimize patient selection for PSMA-PET. With over 200 total citations and a rapidly growing portfolio of innovative techniques, Droghetti is establishing himself as a leader in the digital transformation of urologic surgery.
