About
Barbara Costantini is a prominent gynecological surgeon and researcher whose work has significantly advanced the field of minimally invasive surgery for gynecological cancers. Her research focuses on robotic and laparoscopic surgical techniques, cytoreductive surgery, and the management of ovarian, cervical, and endometrial cancers. Costantini has been a pioneering figure in evaluating the TELELAP ALF-X robotic system, contributing several foundational studies—accumulating over 195 citations combined—that established its feasibility and perioperative outcomes in procedures ranging from hysterectomy to ovarian cyst enucleation. Her comparative and case-matched studies rigorously benchmarked robotic approaches against conventional laparoscopy, lending evidence-based credibility to emerging surgical technologies. Perhaps most notably, her work on minimally invasive secondary cytoreduction combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for recurrent ovarian cancer—cited over 110 times across two key publications—has helped shape modern treatment paradigms for this challenging patient population. Her prospective trials, including the multicentric ROMANHY trial examining uterine manipulator use in endometrial cancer staging, reflect a commitment to rigorous clinical investigation. Costantini's cumulative contributions make her an essential reference point for researchers and clinicians advancing minimally invasive gynecologic oncology.
