About
Antonio Zinilli is a leading anesthesiologist and researcher specializing in perioperative care for robotic urologic surgery. His work focuses on optimizing pain management, respiratory mechanics, and recovery protocols in complex procedures like robotic partial nephrectomy and radical cystectomy. Zinilli’s most-cited study, a prospective randomized trial on ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane block (TAPb) for robotic partial nephrectomy (43 citations), demonstrated that this locoregional technique significantly reduces acute and chronic postsurgical pain, offering a safer alternative to systemic opioids. He also pioneered research on valveless trocars to mitigate the respiratory and hemodynamic strain of prolonged pneumoperitoneum and Trendelenburg positioning (26 citations), and investigated neuromuscular blockade reversal strategies to improve recovery after robotic cystectomy (25 citations). His work has directly enhanced patient outcomes by reducing postoperative complications and shortening hospital stays. Zinilli’s contributions are widely recognized in the field of robotic anesthesia, and his studies continue to inform clinical guidelines for pain control and respiratory support in minimally invasive surgery.
