About
Dr. Michele Di Dio is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher at the forefront of precision surgery, whose work is revolutionizing how robotic procedures are planned and executed. His primary research focuses on integrating three-dimensional (3D) virtual modeling, augmented reality (AR), and artificial intelligence (AI) into minimally invasive urologic oncology. Dr. Di Dio’s major contributions include demonstrating that 3D model-assisted partial nephrectomy improves surgical outcomes (84 citations) and that Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy offers superior functional recovery compared to standard approaches (159 citations). He has been instrumental in developing the BLAIR system, an AI-driven bleeding detector for robotic prostatectomy, and pioneering the first automatic 3D augmented-reality partial nephrectomy guided by machine learning (33 citations). His work on the “Metaverse Surgical Planning” concept (40 citations) and AI-driven selective biopsy during nerve-sparing prostatectomy (31 citations) represents a paradigm shift toward hyper-personalized, data-driven surgery. With multiple high-impact systematic reviews and prospective trials, Dr. Di Dio’s research has garnered over 500 citations, establishing him as a leading voice in the next generation of robotic urology.
