About
Dr. Pietro Piazza is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher at the forefront of robotic surgery and augmented reality (AR) in urology. His work centers on evaluating next-generation robotic platforms—such as the Hugo™ RAS system—and developing AR tools to enhance surgical precision. Dr. Piazza’s landmark 2021 paper, “Potential Contenders for the Leadership in Robotic Surgery” (89 citations), established him as a leading voice on emerging robotic competitors. He has since demonstrated the feasibility of these platforms for radical prostatectomy, sacropexy, and simple prostatectomy, with studies accumulating over 60 citations. In a groundbreaking 2023 study (69 citations), he showed how deep learning can improve AR by providing real-time instrument delineation during robotic renal surgery—a critical step toward clinical AR adoption. His 2021 work on AR-guided intraoperative frozen section during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (61 citations) further underscores his translational impact. Dr. Piazza has also developed nomograms to predict trifecta outcomes after partial nephrectomy (53 citations) and conducted pivotal meta-analyses comparing robotic versus open simple prostatectomy (38 citations). His research, totaling over 500 citations, is shaping the future of minimally invasive urologic surgery.
