Tommaso Lupattelli

Tommaso Lupattelli is a surgeon specialized in Interventional Radiology and Vascular Surgery. He was named European Community Physician of the Year in 2019 for advancing embolization techniques. Lupattelli has performed around 3,000 embolization procedures and currently works at Maria Cecilia Hospital.

Specialization and Minimally Invasive Treatments

Dr. Lupattelli treats uterine fibroids, fibroadenomas, prostatitis, and male varicocele. He uses embolization, a technique he developed and promoted throughout Europe. This minimally invasive approach offers a low recurrence rate and rapid recovery. Dr. Lupattelli also specializes in revascularization of the lower limb.

The specialist performs varicocele embolization – a procedure that blocks blood flow to enlarged veins in the scrotum – as a day surgery. Patients typically return home one hour after the procedure. This method prevents scarring and avoids the pain associated with traditional surgery. Because it is less invasive, it leads to a faster recovery.

Education and Academic Roles

Dr. Lupattelli graduated with honors from the University of Perugia in 1999. He completed specializations in radiology, interventional radiology, and vascular surgery at the State University of Milan. Furthermore, he practiced for two years at university hospitals in London to refine his surgical skills. Dr. Lupattelli also held numerous courses in Italy and abroad on revascularization and fibroid embolization.
