About

Chiara Vacca is a surgical researcher whose work centers on the application of advanced imaging techniques in gynecologic surgery, with a particular focus on endometriosis. Her most-cited study, "Clinical Use of Indocyanine Green in Bowel Endometriosis Surgery" (2020, 12 citations), represents a significant contribution to the field by demonstrating how intraoperative fluorescence imaging can improve surgical precision and outcomes for patients with deep infiltrating endometriosis. This work addresses a critical challenge in complex pelvic surgery—visualizing disease boundaries and ensuring adequate bowel perfusion during resection. While her citation count reflects the emerging nature of this specialty, Vacca’s research is pioneering in its practical, patient-centered approach, offering surgeons a real-time tool to reduce complications and preserve organ function. Her findings have been presented at international conferences and have influenced clinical protocols in specialized endometriosis centers. As the use of indocyanine green expands in minimally invasive surgery, Vacca’s work stands as a foundational reference for integrating fluorescence-guided techniques into routine practice, making her a rising voice in the effort to improve surgical safety and quality of life for women with severe endometriosis.
