Robotics and AI are rapidly transforming urological surgery by enhancing precision, visualization, and intraoperative decision-making. Robotic platforms now allow surgeons to perform complex procedures—such as prostatectomy, partial nephrectomy, and pelvic reconstructions—with greater dexterity and reduced morbidity. AI-driven tools assist in preoperative planning, image-guided targeting, and predicting surgical outcomes, enabling more personalised and data-driven care. Together, these technologies are improving patient recovery, reducing complications, and setting new benchmarks for minimally invasive urological practice. As adoption accelerates, surgeons must adapt to evolving systems while maintaining sound clinical judgment and technical excellence.
Director of Urology, Northwell Health LIJ Valley Stream Hospital, New York
Domenico Veneziano is a Urologist (accredited by the European Board of Urology), expert in robotic surgery, laparoscopy, education and simulation technologies. He won the Italian Matula award in 2019, as the best under-40 italian urologist and performed several live-surgeries in Europe and Asia. Thanks to the past experience with virtual platforms and mini-invasive surgery, he already built various innovative training devices. He achieved one of the first fellowships worldwide in \"simulation and education technologies\" provided by the American College of Surgeons. Domenico Veneziano organized and coordinated several courses and \"hands on\" training sessions in Europe, focusing on different learning topics and is actually chairman elect of the Surgical Training group within the European School of Urology and former coordinator of hands-on training for the European Urology Residents Education Programme, number 1 teaching programme offered by the European Association of Urology. He is actually working for Northwell Health, in New York
