About

Vincenzo Li Marzi is a prominent Italian urological surgeon and researcher at the University of Florence, whose work has significantly advanced minimally invasive and robotic approaches in kidney surgery and transplantation. His research spans three interconnected domains: partial nephrectomy techniques, robot-assisted kidney transplantation, and robotic urological oncology, including radical prostatectomy. Li Marzi has made landmark contributions through his leadership in the RECORD 2 Project, a large prospective multicenter Italian study enrolling over 4,000 patients that has generated critical comparative data on open, laparoscopic, and robotic partial nephrectomy outcomes. This landmark initiative, cited over 130 times, has directly informed clinical decision-making and surgical planning worldwide. His pioneering work in robot-assisted kidney transplantation — including the first reported programme using deceased donors and innovative applications of indocyanine green fluorescence imaging for intraoperative perfusion assessment — has positioned the University of Florence as an international reference centre in this emerging field. He has also codified reproducible robotic techniques for living donor nephrectomy and kidney transplantation, supporting global adoption. With cumulative citations exceeding 400 across his top works, Li Marzi's research continues shaping evidence-based practice in minimally invasive urology and transplant surgery.
