Prof Rob Fitridge (MBBS, MS, FRACS, PSM) is Professor of Vascular Surgery at University of Adelaide, and Consultant Vascular Surgeon with the Central Adelaide Local Health Network (Royal Adelaide Hospital and The Queen Elizabeth Hospital). He co-founded the Multi-Disciplinary Foot (MDF) Service at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital and Lyell McEwin Health Service, and is current co-lead of the MDF service at the Royal Adelaide Hospital. His contributions to surgical science have been recognised with an ad hominem membership with the Fellows of the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh in 2023, and a Public Service Medal in 2024.In surgical science he is most recognised for his work on predictive modelling of outcomes after endovascular aneurysm surgery (NHMRC-funded with 15 related publications). He was a member of the steering committee for the Global Guidelines for Chronic Limb-threatening Ischaemia (CLTI), and also contributed to the GLASS anatomical staging system and to the ESVS Acute Limb Ischaemia guideline. He is managing editor for Mechanisms of Vascular Disease: A Textbook for Vascular Specialists, widely used for training in Australia and now in its third edition. He is actively involved in undergraduate and postgraduate student teaching, as well as curriculum development for vascular surgical training.Prof Fitridge has extensive clinical and research experience in management of chronic complex wounds, with 20 publications in the last five years in the field of limb salvage with a combined citation index over seven times the field average. He was a member of the Baker IDI/NHMRC and Diabetes Feet Australia working groups, which developed national guidelines for the management of diabetes-related foot disease; he is also a member of the International Working Group for the Diabetic Foot (and co-chair of its Peripheral Arterial Disease committee), which develops and updates internationally-recognised guidelines for the assessment and management of diabetes-related foot disease. Prof Fitridge is a core partner with the Australian Centre for Accelerating Diabetes Innovations (ACADI) in the diabetic foot syndrome priority area.
Prof Fitridge leads a research program across the Royal Adelaide Hospital's Vascular and Endovascular Service and the Basil Hetzel Institute for Translational Health Research (BHI; The Queen Elizabeth Hospital). This includes clinical research with inpatient and outpatient cohorts with peripheral arterial disease and lower-limb complications.
Current Research Interests
- Development and implementation of best-practice guidelines for the treatment of chronic limb-threatening ischaemia (CLTI) and diabetes-related foot disease (DFD)
- Predictive outcome modelling following major surgical procedures and evaluation of minimally-invasive techniques in vascular surgery
- Assessment of factors affecting complex wound healing and outcomes of interventions in DFD, including for treating diabetes-related foot infection and osteomyelitis
- Telemedicine and health services for patients living in rural and remote communities, especially First Nations People
- Technological approaches to assessment and education for limb disease management, including artificial intelligence-based wound photography, optical coherence tomography of small blood vessels, virtual reality training modules, and augmented reality consults
