About

Maurizio De Maria is a urological surgeon whose research spans minimally invasive surgery, robotic-assisted procedures, and the management of complex urological complications. Working at the intersection of innovation and clinical practice, De Maria has made meaningful contributions to understanding iatrogenic surgical injuries, particularly his widely cited 2014 work on delayed-onset ureteral lesions caused by energy-based surgical devices — a study that helped define an emerging and underrecognized clinical condition, accumulating 33 citations. His early adoption of robotic techniques is evident in his 2008 case report on robot-assisted removal of a complex seminal vesicle cyst, which garnered 31 citations and demonstrated the potential of robotic platforms for intricate pelvic anatomy. De Maria has also pioneered the clinical evaluation of the Versius robotic surgical system, contributing among the first published series of robot-assisted radical prostatectomies and partial nephrectomies using this novel platform. His 2013 work exploring N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate as a minimally invasive treatment for urinary fistulas reflects his commitment to advancing conservative management strategies. Across his career, De Maria has consistently championed surgical innovation while rigorously documenting outcomes, making his work a valuable reference for urologists navigating new technologies and challenging clinical scenarios.
