About
Francesco Giuseppe Martire is a leading figure in gynecologic surgery and endometriosis research, whose work has significantly shaped evidence-based clinical practice. His primary research areas include endometriosis management, minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, and the critical evaluation of medical overuse. Martire’s most impactful contribution is the landmark 2019 ETIC* position statement, “When more is not better: 10 ‘don’ts’ in endometriosis management,” which has garnered 62 citations. This influential paper, developed by a network of experts from 16 Italian academic centers, systematically identified ten common interventions that should be de-implemented due to lack of evidence or potential harm, providing clear, actionable guidance for clinicians worldwide. By challenging entrenched practices and advocating for high-quality evidence over tradition, Martire has helped reduce unnecessary surgeries and improve patient outcomes. His work exemplifies the growing movement toward “choosing wisely” in gynecology, and his leadership in the ETIC* network underscores his role as a key voice in promoting rational, patient-centered care. For students and researchers, Martire’s research offers a model of how rigorous evidence appraisal can transform clinical guidelines and reduce iatrogenic harm.
