About

Dr. Maria Elena Rosa Obino is a leading gynecologic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques for endometriosis and gynecologic cancers. Her work centers on the clinical integration of indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging and robotic-assisted laparoscopy to improve surgical precision and patient outcomes. Her most impactful contribution is the 2020 study on the clinical use of ICG in bowel endometriosis surgery, which has garnered 12 citations, demonstrating its influence in refining surgical visualization for deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). She also authored a pivotal 2017 review on robotics in endometriosis management, highlighting how robot-assisted laparoscopy offers superior 3D visualization and dexterity for treating complex DIE. Further extending her expertise, Dr. Obino conducted a 2020 retrospective analysis on sentinel-lymph-node mapping with ICG in robotic-assisted surgery for early endometrial cancer, showing that this technique can safely replace complete lymphadenectomy, reducing surgical morbidity. With a cumulative impact of 24 citations across these key works, Dr. Obino is recognized for bridging innovative imaging and robotic technology to enhance surgical staging and treatment of endometriosis and endometrial cancer, making her a notable figure in the evolution of gynecologic surgery.
