About
Dr. Silvia Proietti is a pioneering endourologist whose research focuses on advancing laser technologies and robotic systems for minimally invasive treatment of upper urinary tract diseases. Her most impactful work, an *ex vivo* experimental study comparing Thulium:YAG and Holmium:YAG lasers (39 citations), provides critical evidence on their differential soft tissue effects—specifically incision depth and coagulation area—directly informing surgical precision in ureteroscopy. This contribution is foundational for clinicians selecting optimal laser settings to balance efficacy with tissue preservation. Dr. Proietti also investigates functional outcomes of robotic surgery, as demonstrated by her study on the early impact of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy on renal function using renal scintigraphy (10 citations). Furthermore, she has been instrumental in evaluating next-generation robotic platforms, notably testing the Avicenna Roboflex’s novel irrigation system (4 citations), which enhances visualization and safety during flexible ureteroscopy. Her work bridges experimental urology and clinical practice, offering evidence-based guidance for adopting emerging technologies. With a career dedicated to improving surgical outcomes through rigorous *in vitro* and clinical studies, Dr. Proietti is a leading voice in the evolution of laser and robotic endourology.
