About
Dr. Ilaria Capasso is a leading gynecologic oncologist whose research centers on optimizing surgical outcomes for women with endometrial cancer, with a particular focus on minimally invasive techniques and the management of obese patients. Her major contributions include landmark comparative studies of robotic-assisted versus conventional laparoscopic surgery for endometrial cancer staging, most notably a large retrospective analysis of 1,221 patients (34 citations) that helped define the relative benefits of each approach. She is also the principal investigator of the RObese randomized controlled trial (16 citations), a pivotal study examining robotic versus laparoscopic surgery specifically in obese patients with early endometrial cancer in the sentinel lymph node era. Dr. Capasso has further advanced the field by demonstrating the safety and feasibility of same-day discharge after robotic hysterectomy for endometrial cancer (4 citations), and through the SLYMEC II study (4 citations), she has provided critical insights into the prognostic impact of lymphovascular space invasion in early-stage disease. Her work, which has accumulated over 58 citations, is shaping modern surgical protocols and improving recovery pathways for women with gynecologic malignancies.
