About

Luigi Carlo Turco is a distinguished surgical oncologist and minimally invasive surgery specialist whose research has profoundly shaped the landscape of gynecologic and general surgery. His work centers on robotic and laparoscopic surgical techniques, endometriosis management, gynecologic oncology, and advanced imaging technologies. Turco's most influential contributions include landmark systematic reviews and meta-analyses examining single-port robotic platforms across surgical disciplines (77 citations) and comparing robotic versus laparoscopic approaches in endometriosis patients (75 citations), establishing evidence-based frameworks that have guided clinical practice worldwide. His early investigation into minimally invasive secondary cytoreduction combined with HIPEC for recurrent ovarian cancer (47 citations) demonstrated his pioneering spirit in oncologic surgery. Particularly innovative is his exploration of real-time near-infrared imaging with indocyanine green for endometriosis detection (46 citations), improving intraoperative lesion identification. Through the multicentric ROMANHY randomized trial, he addressed critical questions around uterine manipulator use in endometrial cancer staging, while his cervical cancer recurrence pattern study has refined surgical decision-making in early-stage disease. With hundreds of cumulative citations and contributions spanning randomized trials, meta-analyses, and case series, Turco represents a leading voice in advancing minimally invasive surgical oncology for women's health.
