About
Enrico Polati is a leading anesthesiology researcher whose work focuses on perioperative risk stratification in urologic oncology, particularly for patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). His major contributions center on validating the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification system as a powerful predictor of postoperative complications. Through large-scale, single-center studies involving over 1,100 consecutive prostate cancer patients, Polati demonstrated that higher ASA scores are significantly associated with Clavien-Dindo complications greater than one—both at hospital discharge and at 90 days post-surgery. His 2022 study, which has garnered 13 citations, provides final evidence from a tertiary referral center that the ASA system can reliably forecast major adverse outcomes after RARP. This work has practical implications for preoperative counseling and resource allocation, helping surgeons identify high-risk patients earlier. Polati’s research bridges anesthesiology and surgical oncology, offering clinicians a simple, widely available tool to improve patient safety. His findings are particularly valuable for trainees and specialists seeking evidence-based approaches to perioperative care in minimally invasive prostate cancer surgery.
