About
Dr. Stefano Granato is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher whose work is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive oncology, particularly in the treatment of prostate and kidney cancers. His primary research areas center on robotic-assisted surgery, three-dimensional augmented reality (3D AR), and artificial intelligence (AI) integration. Dr. Granato’s most impactful contribution is the development of a 3D AR tool for complex robot-assisted partial nephrectomies (PADUA ≥10), a breakthrough that has garnered 188 citations by offering superior intraoperative guidance over traditional ultrasound. He has also made seminal contributions to prostate cancer surgery, leading a systematic review on anatomical reconstruction for continence recovery after radical prostatectomy and demonstrating through a prospective trial that 3D models can reduce positive surgical margins. His work extends to comparative effectiveness, with a randomized controlled trial (25 citations) challenging the necessity of standard biopsy alongside targeted fusion biopsy in MRI-positive patients. Additionally, Dr. Granato has reported on long-term outcomes from a 10-year follow-up of laparoscopic versus robotic prostatectomy, and explored AI-guided identification of extracapsular extension. His innovative use of augmented reality and AI to enhance surgical precision and patient outcomes marks him as a leader in the next generation of urologic oncology.
