About
Carlo de Felice is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive techniques for renal cancer treatment. His primary research focuses on the intersection of interventional radiology and robotic-assisted surgery, particularly in developing novel strategies to improve outcomes in partial nephrectomy. De Felice’s major contribution is the introduction of a "green tattoo" technique, a groundbreaking method combining indocyanine green with a non-adhesive liquid embolic agent (Onyx-18) for pre-operative renal embolization. This innovation, detailed in his 2022 paper, enables real-time near-infrared fluorescence imaging during robotic-assisted and laparoscopic partial nephrectomies, allowing surgeons to precisely visualize and resect tumors while preserving healthy kidney tissue. Although early in its citation history—with 4 citations to date—this work represents a practical proof-of-concept that has the potential to reduce surgical complications and improve oncologic outcomes. De Felice’s approach bridges radiology and surgery, offering a tangible advance in nephron-sparing techniques. His research is particularly notable for its translational value, directly impacting clinical practice by enhancing surgical precision and patient safety. As a rising figure in urologic oncology, de Felice continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in minimally invasive renal surgery.
