About

Dr. Antonio Zitiello is a leading voice in reproductive gynecologic surgery, with a focused expertise on the intricate relationship between uterine fibroids, myomectomy, and female infertility. His most-cited work, "Myomectomy in infertile women: More harm than good?" (2023, 13 citations), provocatively challenges conventional wisdom by critically examining the risk of post-surgical adhesion formation. Dr. Zitiello’s major contribution lies in advocating for a refined surgical paradigm that balances the benefits of fibroid removal against the potential for iatrogenic harm. He champions the adoption of minimally invasive approaches—including conventional and robotic-assisted laparoscopy—combined with meticulous microsurgical principles and the strategic application of adhesion-reducing barriers. This work has sparked essential debate within the field, pushing clinicians to prioritize fertility preservation over mere fibroid excision. His research directly impacts surgical decision-making for millions of women, underscoring his role as a thoughtful innovator at the intersection of surgery and reproductive outcomes.
