About
Filippo Annino is a prominent urological surgeon and researcher whose work has substantially advanced the field of minimally invasive and robotic urologic surgery. His research spans radical prostatectomy techniques, partial and radical nephrectomy, and emerging surgical technologies, with a particular focus on optimizing oncological outcomes while preserving patient quality of life. Annino has made landmark contributions through rigorous clinical trial design, including randomized controlled trials that address critical gaps in urological literature. His 2011 comparison of laparoscopic versus robot-assisted nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy — now exceeding 207 citations — remains one of the field's most referenced studies on the subject. His development of the pubovesical complex-sparing technique (2010, 99 citations) and Retzius-sparing prostatectomy research (127 citations) reflect a consistent commitment to refining surgical anatomy preservation to improve continence and potency outcomes. Beyond prostatectomy, Annino's leadership in the CLOCK randomized trial investigating on- versus off-clamp robotic partial nephrectomy has meaningfully informed renal function preservation strategies. His contributions to near-infrared fluorescence imaging and novel pneumoperitoneum technology further demonstrate his breadth across surgical innovation. With hundreds of cumulative citations, his work continues to shape contemporary robotic urology practice worldwide.
