About
Paolo De Angelis is a thoracic surgeon whose research centers on optimizing surgical outcomes in lung cancer care, with a particular focus on the interplay between operative technique and postoperative recovery. His most-cited work, a 2022 study on pulmonary lobectomy, established a critical link between prolonged operative time and increased postoperative complications—a finding that has reshaped perioperative protocols and garnered 40 citations. By rigorously analyzing a large patient cohort, De Angelis demonstrated that even modest extensions in surgery duration significantly elevate morbidity risk, prompting surgeons to refine efficiency without compromising oncologic rigor. Beyond this landmark paper, his broader contributions include investigating risk stratification tools and minimally invasive approaches to reduce recovery times. His work has been instrumental in advancing evidence-based benchmarks for thoracic surgery, directly influencing clinical guidelines and training curricula. De Angelis’s research not only highlights the hidden costs of surgical duration but also empowers teams to balance thoroughness with patient safety—a dual priority that continues to drive his investigations into the modifiable factors shaping lung cancer outcomes.
