About
Francesco Cosentino is a prominent gynecologic surgeon and clinical researcher whose work centers on minimally invasive surgery for gynecological cancers and endometriosis. He has made significant contributions to the comparative evaluation of robotic and laparoscopic approaches in treating early cervical cancer, with his 2011 multicenter study and 2018 case-matched analysis accumulating nearly 170 citations combined — establishing him as an authoritative voice in the ongoing debate over surgical technique selection in oncological gynecology. Cosentino has also pioneered the application of indocyanine green (ICG) near-infrared imaging in endometriosis surgery, publishing both a case-control study and a systematic review in 2020 that together garnered over 80 citations, advancing the field's ability to detect and completely excise endometriotic lesions intraoperatively. His leadership in the multicentric ROMANHY randomized trial further demonstrates his commitment to rigorous, practice-changing research, examining the controversial role of uterine manipulators in endometrial cancer staging. More recently, his work has expanded into recurrence patterns in cervical cancer and minimally invasive surgery for recurrent endometrial cancer, underscoring a career dedicated to refining and validating safer, less invasive surgical standards across the spectrum of gynecological oncology.
