About
Ugo Giovanni Falagario is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of robotic surgery, artificial intelligence, and prostate cancer management. His major contributions center on refining surgical techniques to improve patient outcomes, most notably through the "Hood Technique" for robotic radical prostatectomy—a novel approach that preserves periurethral anatomical structures to enable early return of continence without compromising surgical margin rates (153 citations). Falagario has also been instrumental in demonstrating the long-term oncological efficacy of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, co-authoring landmark 20-year reports from the EAU Robotic Urology Section Scientific Working Group that validate survival rates and assess the impact of positive surgical margins on mortality. His work extends into predictive analytics, where he has combined multiparametric MRI with genomic classifiers to forecast biochemical recurrence. With over 700 cumulative citations, Falagario has authored highly influential papers on AI and machine learning in prostate cancer care, contemporary dissection techniques, and robotic-assisted surgery for urologic cancers. His research continues to shape precision surgery, offering tangible improvements in both cancer control and quality of life for patients worldwide.
