About
Horace Roman is a pioneering surgeon and researcher whose work has fundamentally advanced the surgical management of severe and deeply infiltrating endometriosis. His primary research areas focus on the application of robotic-assisted laparoscopy for complex endometriosis, particularly targeting the diaphragm, sciatic nerve, and deep rectovaginal nodules. Roman’s major contributions include demonstrating the safety and efficacy of robotic techniques for resecting diaphragmatic endometriosis, as detailed in his highly cited 2016 study (44 citations) and subsequent 2022 series. He has also pioneered natural orifice specimen extraction for colorectal resection in endometriosis (22 citations) and established reproducible, stepwise robotic approaches for sciatic nerve endometriosis, a notoriously challenging condition. His work has consistently shown that robotic assistance can reduce morbidity, lower stoma rates, and improve surgical precision in severe cases. With over 150 cumulative citations across his top papers, Roman’s research has shaped modern surgical protocols, and his 2023 cost-analysis study further underscores the practical viability of robotic surgery. His achievements include developing standardized 10-step robotic procedures that guide surgeons through complex pelvic neuroanatomy, making him a leading authority in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery.
