About
Dr. Stefano Zecchini Antoniolli is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving outcomes in prostate cancer surgery, particularly through the refinement of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). His major contributions lie in identifying preoperative and intraoperative factors that predict surgical complications, thereby enabling better risk stratification and patient counseling. In a landmark study of over 1,000 patients, he demonstrated that the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status system is a robust predictor of major Clavien-Dindo complications at 90 days post-RARP, a finding replicated in multiple publications with over 20 combined citations. He also showed that severe intraoperative bleeding is a key predictor of perioperative blood transfusion, with implications for hospital stay and recovery. His work on ABO blood groups and positive surgical margins, while more preliminary, opens new avenues for personalized risk assessment. With a growing body of evidence from a high-volume tertiary center, Dr. Antoniolli’s research directly informs clinical decision-making, helping surgeons tailor their approach to each patient’s unique risk profile.
