About

Maria Gaetani is a leading figure in gynecologic oncology, with a focused expertise in minimally invasive surgical approaches for the treatment of endometrial and cervical cancers. Her major contributions center on advancing robotic-assisted laparoscopy (RAL), demonstrating its feasibility and long-term outcomes. In her pivotal 2015 study, she evaluated robotic hysterectomy and radical hysterectomy for endometrial cancer, providing critical data on a mean follow-up of four years—a rare and valuable long-term perspective that has garnered 11 citations. Gaetani further distinguished herself by tackling the practical and economic dimensions of surgical innovation. Her 2017 cost analysis of minimally invasive radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer, performed by a single surgeon in an Italian center, offered essential insights into the financial sustainability of robotic techniques in a real-world clinical setting. This work, cited 7 times, underscores her commitment to not only advancing surgical precision but also ensuring accessibility and efficiency in oncological care. Through these studies, Gaetani has solidified her reputation as a pioneer in robotic gynecologic surgery, bridging technical excellence with pragmatic healthcare delivery.
