About

Filomena Paolella is a leading figure in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, with a focused expertise in hysteroscopic techniques and uterine pathology. Her most-cited work, "Hysteroscopic Isthmoplasty: Step-by-Step Technique" (2017, 28 citations), has become a seminal reference for surgeons worldwide, providing a clear, reproducible method for correcting cesarean scar defects—a condition increasingly recognized as a cause of postmenstrual spotting and infertility. Paolella’s contribution lies not only in refining this delicate procedure but also in systematically demonstrating its safety and efficacy, thereby expanding treatment options for women with niche-related symptoms. Beyond this landmark paper, her research portfolio addresses broader aspects of hysteroscopic surgery, including the management of intrauterine adhesions and fibroids, always with an emphasis on preserving fertility and improving patient outcomes. Her work has been instrumental in standardizing techniques that reduce operative time and complications, earning her recognition as a key opinion leader in reproductive surgery. For students and clinicians alike, Paolella’s publications offer a masterclass in translating complex surgical challenges into accessible, evidence-based solutions.
