About
Giovanni Panico is a pioneering figure in urogynecology and minimally invasive surgery, with a focused expertise in the surgical management of pelvic organ prolapse (POP). His major contributions center on advancing robotic and laparoscopic techniques, particularly through the systematic evaluation and implementation of novel robotic platforms like the Hugo™ RAS and Senhance® systems. Panico has been instrumental in demonstrating the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of robotic sacrocolpopexy and combined multicompartment repairs, often using rigorous statistical methods like cumulative summation analysis (CUSUM) to define learning curves and optimize operative efficiency. His work has garnered significant attention, with his most cited paper—a systematic literature review on laparoscopic lateral suspension—accumulating 41 citations, and multiple studies on the Hugo RAS system collectively cited over 60 times. Notably, he led the first European experience with the Hugo RAS system in gynecologic surgery at Gemelli Hospital, Rome, and authored the first description of nerve-sparing sacral colpopexy using this platform. Panico’s research directly addresses the critical challenge of longer operative times in robotic surgery, providing evidence that new systems can match or improve upon conventional laparoscopy while maintaining patient safety.
