About

L. Carbone is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive surgical oncology, with a primary focus on gastric cancer treatment and complex pelvic surgery. Their most significant contribution lies in pioneering the comparative analysis of robotic versus laparoscopic approaches for lymphadenectomy in gastric cancer, a critical procedure for achieving surgical radicality. Carbone’s work directly addresses the central challenge of translating the radicality of open surgery—adequate lymph node dissection and negative margins—into minimally invasive techniques. Their 2025 paper on this topic, already garnering 3 citations, is shaping the debate on the optimal technological platform for gastric cancer surgery. Additionally, Carbone has made a vital contribution to patient safety in gynecologic oncology through their work on Indocyanine Green ureteral mapping. This technique, detailed in a 2025 paper, offers a real-time method to prevent iatrogenic ureteral injury during complex pelvic surgeries, a known risk with rates up to 1.5%. By tackling both oncologic efficacy and surgical safety, Carbone’s research is directly improving outcomes for patients undergoing high-risk cancer procedures.
