Prof. Enrico Finazzi

Enrico Finazzi Agrò (graduated in medicine and surgery in 1993) is Associate Professor at Department of Experimental Medicine and Surgery of Tor Vergata University and Director of the Unit for Functional Urology and Mini-Invasive Surgery of the Policlinico Tor Vergata University Hospital in Rome. He is also responsible of the Units of Neuro-Urology of the Santa Lucia Rehabilitation Hospital in Rome and of the CPO Spinal cord Hospital in Ostia (Rome). He is -President and President Elected of the Italian Society of Urodynamics (Società Italiana di Urodinamica –SIUD-) and member of the “Urodynamics” and “Neuro-urology promotion” committees of the International Continence Society (ICS). He is responsible of the newsletter of the Italian Society of Urology (Società Italiana di Urologia, SIU) “Futuro”.

His scientific interest is basically focused on functional urology (neuro-urology, female urology and male LUTS) and urological oncology. His research has been focused on the function and dysfunction of the lower urinary tract in neurologic conditions; neuromodulation; new technologies; urodynamics; high intensity focused ultrasound and laparoscopic surgery for prostate cancer. He is author of more than 40 indexed papers and book chapters and of more than 200 publications of national and international congress presentations.
