About
Tommaso Calcagnile is a pioneering urological surgeon at the forefront of next-generation robotic surgery. His research centers on the clinical implementation and comparative evaluation of emerging robotic platforms, particularly the Hugo RAS and Versius CMR systems, for complex pelvic procedures. Calcagnile has made landmark contributions by performing and describing the first-ever robot-assisted radical prostatectomy with the Versius system (39 citations) and the first robot-assisted radical cystectomy with intracorporeal neobladder reconstruction using Hugo RAS (35 citations). His work systematically assesses surgical setup, skill transference across platforms, and the impact of simulator training on medical students' interest in robotic surgery. Notably, his head-to-head preclinical comparison of Hugo RAS and Versius CMR (13 citations) provides crucial data for surgical decision-making. With over 175 total citations across his publications, Calcagnile's research is instrumental in shaping the adoption of multi-modular robotic systems, demonstrating their safety, reproducibility, and potential to expand access to minimally invasive surgery beyond the Da Vinci ecosystem.
