What to Know
Signature approach
Caprini frames men's health as preventive and personalized. Consults may include prostate and urinary assessment, hormone and molecular monitoring, sexual and reproductive concerns, and imaging or lab review as men age. When surgical care is needed, it routes through his hospital affiliations; the Assaly visit is the prevention, evaluation, and planning side.
What sets them apart
- USP-FMRP training pipeline. Medicine, general surgery, and urology all through the University of São Paulo Ribeirão Preto system.
- Minimally invasive toolkit. Robotics, HoLEP, GreenLight Laser, and endoscopic laser stone treatment support a broad surgical context.
- Longevity-relevant urology. His source materials explicitly connect men's health to molecular and hormonal monitoring with aging.
