His work on spinal epidural abscesses elucidated their epidemiology, microbiology, and outcome.  His work in Hydrocephalus and Pseudotumor Cerebri has impacted the diagnosis and surgical management of these conditions. In radiosurgery, he and his team analyzed the long-term outcome of radiosurgical management of benign and malignant brain tumors, and provided evidence leading to better treatment choices.  For the last several years Dr. Rigamonti has focused his interest on how to successfully tackle the healthcare challenges posed by chronic diseases with the goal of providing effective medical services at a cost that societies can sustain.
