About
Fabrizio Di Maida is a urological surgeon and researcher whose work has substantially advanced the understanding and practice of kidney-sparing surgery, particularly partial nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma. His research spans minimally invasive surgical techniques, robotic surgery, and oncological and functional outcomes following nephron-sparing procedures. Di Maida has been a driving force behind the landmark RECORd 2 Project, a prospective multicenter observational study that generated critical comparative data on open, laparoscopic, and robotic partial nephrectomy, earning over 130 citations and becoming a foundational reference in the field. His investigations into tumor enucleation, surgical approach selection, and the management of complex renal masses have provided clinicians with evidence-based guidance for optimizing both oncological safety and renal function preservation. Notably, his development of nomograms predicting chronic kidney disease progression following robot-assisted surgery represents an important step toward personalized surgical decision-making. His pioneering work integrating 3D preoperative planning into robotic partial nephrectomy further highlights his commitment to surgical innovation. With a body of work collectively exceeding 500 citations, Di Maida has firmly established himself as a leading voice in contemporary uro-oncology and minimally invasive renal surgery.
