About

Franco Alessandri is a leading figure in gynecologic oncology, with a focused expertise in the surgical management of endometrial cancer. His major contributions lie in advancing minimally invasive techniques, particularly through the integration of robotic surgery and intraoperative imaging. Alessandri is best known for pioneering work on sentinel lymph node mapping using near-infrared fluorescence, a method that enhances the precision of staging while reducing surgical morbidity. His landmark 2019 study on this approach, which has garnered significant attention with 3 citations, demonstrated the feasibility and accuracy of combining robotic platforms with indocyanine green dye to identify metastatic spread in endometrial cancer patients. This work has helped establish a new standard for targeted lymphadenectomy, sparing patients unnecessary extensive dissection. Beyond this, Alessandri’s research portfolio encompasses optimizing surgical outcomes, reducing complications, and improving oncologic safety in gynecologic procedures. His contributions have been recognized through invitations to speak at international conferences and collaborations with leading surgical teams. For students and researchers, Alessandri’s work exemplifies how technological innovation can directly translate into better patient care, making him a key reference in the evolving field of robotic gynecologic oncology.
