About
Paola Rampa is a distinguished urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on optimizing perioperative outcomes in robotic and laparoscopic surgery, with a particular focus on prostate cancer treatment. Her major contributions lie in investigating the physiological effects of surgical techniques, notably through her landmark randomized controlled trial on warmed and humidified CO₂ insufflation during robotic radical prostatectomy. This study demonstrated that using the HumiGard™ device to warm and humidify insufflation gas can significantly reduce hypothermia and cytokine-mediated inflammatory responses compared to standard cool, dry gas, thereby lowering perioperative morbidity. With over 10 citations, this work has influenced clinical protocols in minimally invasive surgery. Rampa's research bridges surgical innovation and patient-centered care, addressing often-overlooked factors like gas temperature and humidity that impact recovery. Her findings have been presented at major urology conferences, establishing her as a key voice in enhancing surgical safety and comfort. For students and researchers, her work exemplifies how rigorous clinical trials can refine established procedures to improve patient outcomes.
