About

Giacomo Di Filippo is a surgical researcher whose work focuses on improving outcomes in urologic oncology, particularly through the study of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) for prostate cancer. His major contributions center on identifying preoperative and intraoperative risk factors that predict complications and resource utilization. In a landmark study of 1,143 consecutive patients, Di Filippo demonstrated that the American Society of Anesthesiologists’ (ASA) Physical Status System is a significant predictor of major Clavien-Dindo complications at hospital discharge, providing a simple, evidence-based tool for preoperative risk stratification. His work on severe intraoperative bleeding established a direct link between blood loss and the need for perioperative transfusion, which in turn was associated with longer hospital stays and increased postoperative complications. These findings, each cited 9 times, have practical implications for surgical planning and patient counseling. Di Filippo has also explored challenging hepatobiliary cases, such as perihilar cholangiocarcinoma, questioning traditional contraindications for curative resection. His research bridges the gap between surgical technique and patient safety, offering actionable insights for clinicians performing complex oncologic procedures.
