About

Fabio Neri is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for kidney cancer, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN). His major contributions lie in evaluating the feasibility and outcomes of RAPN for complex renal masses, including tumors 4 cm or larger—a patient group historically considered challenging for nephron-sparing surgery. In his highly cited 2018 study, Neri systematically compared “trifecta” and “pentafecta” outcomes (composite measures of surgical success, complication avoidance, and functional preservation) between patients with small (<4 cm) and larger (≥4 cm) renal masses, demonstrating that RAPN can achieve comparable results even in larger tumors. This work, with 23 citations, has helped expand the indications for robotic partial nephrectomy, offering more patients the benefits of kidney preservation. Neri’s research is notable for its rigorous comparative methodology and its direct impact on clinical decision-making, guiding surgeons in patient selection and operative planning. His ongoing investigations continue to refine robotic techniques, aiming to improve oncologic control while maximizing renal function—a critical balance in modern urologic oncology.
