About
Federico Cappelli is a rising leader in minimally invasive thoracic and urologic surgery, with a research focus on intraoperative imaging and precision-guided tumor localization. His most cited work, "Fluorescence-guided lung nodule identification during minimally invasive lung resections" (2022, 7 citations), addresses a critical challenge in robotic thoracic surgery: locating non-superficial lung nodules. By advancing fluorescence-guided techniques, Cappelli has helped reduce the need for blind dissection and improved surgical accuracy. In a more recent contribution, "Profiling the Kidney Before the Incision: CT-Derived Signatures Steering Reconstructive Strategy After Off-Clamp Minimally Invasive Partial Nephrectomy" (2025, 2 citations), he introduces a novel approach that uses preoperative CT signatures to tailor reconstructive strategies, moving beyond traditional nephrometry scores. This dual-institutional study underscores his commitment to integrating imaging and surgical planning to optimize functional outcomes. Cappelli’s work is gaining traction for its translational impact, offering practical solutions that enhance safety and precision in complex minimally invasive procedures. His research is particularly valuable for surgeons seeking to reduce operative risk while maximizing organ preservation.
