About

Dr. Chiara Delpezzo is a pioneering gynecologic surgeon whose work has advanced the frontier of minimally invasive surgery, particularly through robotic single-site techniques. Her most cited study, “Robotic single-site hysterectomy: two institutions' preliminary experience” (2014, 31 citations), established the feasibility and safety of performing hysterectomies for both benign and malignant conditions through a single umbilical incision using the da Vinci robotic platform. This landmark work, conducted across two institutions, demonstrated that robotic single-site surgery could reduce postoperative pain, shorten recovery times, and improve cosmetic outcomes compared to traditional multiport laparoscopy. Dr. Delpezzo’s contributions have helped validate a less invasive alternative for patients, expanding surgical options in gynecologic oncology and benign disease management. Her research remains a foundational reference for surgeons adopting single-site robotics, influencing clinical protocols and training programs worldwide. By rigorously documenting perioperative outcomes, she has provided the evidence base necessary for broader adoption of this innovative approach, cementing her role as a key figure in the evolution of robotic gynecologic surgery.
