Dr. Roberto Bertini is the coordinator of the Social Assistance Department of the Department of Operative Urology of the IRCCS Ospedale San Raffaele in Milan under the supervision of Professor Francesco Montorsi.

Dr. Bertini graduated from the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery in 1984 at the University of Florence and specialized in urology at the same institute in 1989.

As for urological and oncological clinical activities, he has extensive experience in surgical treatment of all major urological pathologies, pays special attention to functional and oncological aspects. In particular, he is mainly engaged in conservative surgical therapy of renal neoplasms and the treatment of atrial vein thrombosis associated with locally advanced renal neoplasms.

The main direction of Dr. Bertini's research concerns the conservative therapy of kidney neoplasms, with particular interest in oncological and functional results in patients who have undergone surgery due to kidney cancer.

He is the author and co-author of numerous scientific articles (the Hirsch index Scopus 27) published in national and international journals. He is also the principal investigator of the observational intervention protocol concerning the active monitoring of small kidney formations (NCT number NCT03804320).

He constantly participates in national and international congresses in this industry.
