About
Filippo Portoghese is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive robotic techniques for complex urological conditions. His major contributions lie in refining and validating robotic approaches for both oncologic and stone disease. In a landmark 2018 study, he reported on a high-volume single-center experience with extraperitoneal robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (eRARP), demonstrating the safety and efficacy of this approach for prostate cancer—a series that has garnered 31 citations and helped establish eRARP as a viable alternative to traditional methods. Expanding his expertise to nephrolithiasis, Portoghese published the largest single-center series on robotic pyelolithotomy (RPL) for complex kidney stones in 2019, with 11 citations, showcasing how robotics can effectively manage large renal calculi with minimal morbidity. His work is characterized by a commitment to evidence-based practice, leveraging high-volume institutional data to guide surgical decision-making. Through these contributions, Portoghese has significantly impacted the fields of uro-oncology and endourology, offering patients less invasive options while maintaining excellent outcomes.
