About
Dr. Anna Santoro is a leading figure in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, with her work centered on optimizing surgical outcomes for patients with symptomatic uterine fibroids. Her most cited study, a retrospective comparison of robotic versus laparoscopic myomectomy, provides critical early evidence on the safety and efficacy of robotic techniques. This landmark paper, cited 52 times, demonstrated that while robotic myomectomy was associated with longer operative times, it offered comparable blood loss and complication rates to the laparoscopic approach, with the added benefit of facilitating the removal of larger, more complex fibroids. By rigorously analyzing initial surgical experiences, Dr. Santoro has helped shape clinical decision-making and patient counseling, empowering surgeons to choose the most appropriate minimally invasive approach. Her contributions are foundational for the ongoing evolution of robotic surgery in gynecology, directly impacting how fibroids are managed to improve recovery and fertility outcomes. Dr. Santoro’s work continues to influence surgical training and best practices in the field.
