About

Liliana Mereu is a prominent gynecologic surgeon and researcher whose work has significantly advanced minimally invasive surgical techniques for gynecological conditions, particularly endometrial cancer and endometriosis. Her research spans robotic surgery, laparoscopic approaches, and single-site surgical innovations, with a consistent focus on optimizing outcomes for challenging patient populations. Mereu has made notable contributions to comparative surgical research, most visibly through her highly cited 2018 multi-institutional analysis of laparoscopic versus robotic hysterectomy in obese and extremely obese patients with endometrial cancer (96 citations), and her 2020 systematic review and meta-analysis comparing robotic and laparoscopic surgery in endometriosis patients (75 citations). Her early pioneering work on robotic single-site surgery — including hysterectomy, pelvic lymphadenectomy, and endometrial cancer staging — helped establish the feasibility and safety of this less-invasive approach across multiple institutions. Beyond technical outcomes, Mereu has championed patient-centered research, investigating quality of life and body image following minimally invasive procedures. Her sustained productivity across multi-institutional collaborations reflects both her clinical expertise and her commitment to evidence-based practice, making her an influential voice in contemporary gynecologic oncology surgery.
