About
Chiara Cassani is a pioneering gynecologic surgeon whose work has reshaped minimally invasive approaches to hysterectomy and gender-affirming surgery. Her research centers on robotic single-site surgery, cost-effective surgical techniques, and innovative applications of barbed sutures. Cassani’s most influential work includes a 2016 study comparing single-site versus multiport robotic hysterectomy for benign disease, which garnered 53 citations and provided critical data on surgical outcomes and cost analysis. She also led a systematic review and meta-analysis on barbed sutures in minimally invasive hysterectomy (48 citations), establishing best practices for vaginal cuff closure. Notably, Cassani was among the first to apply robotic single-site surgery to female-to-male transsexuals, with two seminal papers (2013, 2014) demonstrating the feasibility and safety of hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy in gender reassignment—a contribution that has earned 29 combined citations and opened new avenues for affirming surgical care. Her work on robotic single-site staging for endometrial cancer, including in obese patients, further underscores her impact. With over 180 total citations, Cassani continues to advance surgical precision, patient outcomes, and inclusivity in gynecologic oncology and transgender health.
