Arnaldo Filippini

Prof. Arnaldo Filippini is a surgeon at Maria Cecilia Hospital. He has authored 100 scientific publications and two monographs in oncological and reconstructive surgery. He treats locally advanced tumors and performs complex multi-organ resections.

Specialization and Surgical Approach

Prof. Filippini specializes in oncological surgery and microsurgical techniques. He treats conditions including esophageal, bladder, and adrenal tumors. He also treats gastrointestinal disorders such as pancreatitis, ulcerative colitis, and cirrhosis.

His surgical practice includes several procedures:

• Small and large intestine resection
• Stomach and esophageal resection
• Transurethral resection of the bladder — a procedure to remove bladder tumors through the urethra
• Synchronous resection of the liver and lung metastases
• Leiomyosarcoma removal and hemipelvectomy

Dr. Filippini uses laparoscopic and robotic techniques for oncological treatments. He also uses minimally invasive and microsurgical methods. These techniques help reduce recovery time and improve surgical precision for cancer patients.
