About
Antonio Raffone is a leading researcher in gynecologic surgery, with a focus on advancing minimally invasive techniques for endometrial cancer and endometriosis. His work systematically evaluates the comparative effectiveness of robotic, laparoscopic, and laparotomic approaches, particularly in elderly and high-risk patient populations. Raffone’s major contributions include landmark meta-analyses demonstrating that robotic surgery can improve outcomes in elderly endometrial cancer patients (29 citations) and clarifying the role of near-infrared indocyanine green imaging for benign gynecologic conditions (20 citations). He has also pioneered research on sentinel lymph node biopsy in endometrial carcinoma, comparing robotic and laparoscopic methods (13 citations), and investigated learning curves for robotic-assisted surgery in gynecology. Notably, his recent multi-center study comparing da Vinci and Hugo RAS systems for deep endometriosis represents a first-of-its-kind comparative analysis. Raffone’s work is highly cited and has shaped clinical guidelines, helping surgeons choose optimal approaches for complex gynecologic procedures. His research consistently emphasizes evidence-based surgical innovation, patient safety, and the integration of advanced technologies to improve surgical precision and recovery.
