About

Benito Chiofalo is a gynecologic surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the forefront of minimally invasive and robotic surgery for gynecological conditions. His research spans the management of cervical and endometrial cancers, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, and structural uterine anomalies such as isthmocele, with a consistent focus on optimizing surgical approaches for patient outcomes. Chiofalo's most influential contribution — a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing surgical approaches for symptomatic isthmocele, which has accumulated 100 citations — helped clarify best practices in a clinically challenging area. His comparative analyses of surgical strategies for stage IB1 cervical cancer (85 citations) have meaningfully informed oncological decision-making, while his longitudinal work on recurrence patterns following minimally invasive versus abdominal radical hysterectomy adds important long-term outcome data to the field. A pioneer in robotic single-site surgery, Chiofalo has demonstrated the feasibility of single-port radical hysterectomy with lymphadenectomy and more recently explored the da Vinci SP platform for ovarian cancer staging. His research on indocyanine green-guided lymphadenectomy further reflects his commitment to precision oncology. Collectively, his work has helped define the evolving standard of care in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery.
