About
Riccardo Corti is a surgical innovator at the forefront of urologic oncology, with a specialized focus on minimally invasive kidney cancer surgery and advanced intraoperative imaging. His primary research centers on refining partial nephrectomy techniques—particularly through the integration of robotic-assisted laparoscopy and near-infrared fluorescence technology. Corti’s major contribution is the development of a groundbreaking "green tattoo" technique, which combines indocyanine green with a non-adhesive liquid embolic agent (Onyx-18) for pre-operative renal embolization. This novel approach, detailed in his 2022 proof-of-concept study involving 13 patients, allows surgeons to precisely visualize and target tumors during partial nephrectomy, potentially reducing ischemic damage and improving outcomes. While his most-cited work currently holds 4 citations—reflecting its recent publication—the technique represents a practical leap forward in surgical precision. Corti’s work bridges interventional radiology and surgical oncology, offering a tangible solution to a longstanding challenge in nephron-sparing surgery. For students and researchers in urology and surgical innovation, Corti exemplifies how translational thinking can reshape operative standards, one meticulous proof-of-concept at a time.
