About
Dr. Eliodoro Faiella is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research is reshaping the landscape of nephron-sparing surgery. His work centers on the intersection of interventional radiology and minimally invasive oncology, specifically developing advanced techniques for robotic and laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. Dr. Faiella’s major contribution is the creation of a novel "green tattoo" technique, which combines superselective renal embolization with indocyanine green (ICG) dye. This approach allows for real-time, fluorescence-guided tumor identification, enabling surgeons to perform "off-clamp" partial nephrectomies—a procedure that minimizes warm ischemia time and preserves kidney function. His comparative studies, cited over a dozen times, demonstrate that this ICG-marked, off-clamp method yields superior surgical and functional outcomes compared to traditional on-clamp, ultrasound-guided approaches. Most recently, Dr. Faiella has pioneered the use of CT-derived signatures to preoperatively profile the kidney, steering the reconstructive strategy after tumor excision. This work, published in 2025, represents a paradigm shift from static anatomical scores to dynamic, personalized surgical planning. By integrating embolization, fluorescence, and advanced imaging, Dr. Faiella is not just refining a technique but redefining the standard of care for kidney cancer patients.
