About
Dr. Giulia Zaccaria is a pioneering gynecologic oncologic surgeon whose work centers on the surgical management of complex, recurrent, and rare pelvic malignancies. Her primary research focuses on advancing minimally invasive and robotic techniques for ultra-radical tumor debulking, specifically for patients with limited treatment options. Her major contributions include the development and refinement of combined robotic laterally extended endopelvic resection (LEER) and laterally extended pelvic resection (LEPR) for pelvic side wall recurrent endometrial cancer, a procedure she describes as "salvage cytoreductive surgery." This work, published in 2022, has already garnered 4 citations, highlighting its immediate impact on the field. Additionally, Dr. Zaccaria has pioneered a neuropelveological approach for the minimally invasive management of multifocal pelvic retroperitoneal malignant paraganglioma, a rare neuroendocrine tumor with an incidence of just 0.6 cases per 100,000 person-years. Her contributions are particularly notable for addressing the surgical challenges of malignant paraganglioma, which occurs in only 3-8% of cases. Through her innovative techniques, Dr. Zaccaria is expanding the boundaries of what is surgically achievable, offering new hope for patients with otherwise unresectable disease.
