About
Pietro Diana is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher at the forefront of robotic-assisted kidney surgery and transplantation. His work centers on refining minimally invasive techniques for partial nephrectomy and renal transplantation, with a particular focus on novel robotic platforms and intraoperative imaging. Diana’s major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility and safety of the Hugo™ RAS system for robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (67 citations) and establishing the role of indocyanine green in guiding tumor resection during robotic partial nephrectomy (59 citations). He has also advanced the field through systematic reviews of resection techniques (56 citations) and groundbreaking work in three-dimensional augmented reality–guided robotic kidney transplantation (52 citations). His research on intracorporeal versus extracorporeal robot-assisted kidney autotransplantation (40 citations) and the development of a cold ischemia device for robotic renal transplantation (32 citations) has directly impacted surgical practice. With over 400 total citations, Diana is also a leader in surgical training standards (30 citations) and global adoption of robotic platforms (25 citations). His work consistently pushes the boundaries of what is possible in robotic urologic surgery, improving patient outcomes and expanding access to advanced minimally invasive procedures.
