About

Luigi Nappi is a leading figure in minimally invasive gynaecologic surgery, with a primary focus on advancing surgical techniques for uterine fibroids and improving fertility outcomes. His major contributions center on the comparative effectiveness of robotic-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy (RALM) versus conventional laparoscopic myomectomy (CLM). In his highly cited 2023 systematic review and meta-analysis, Nappi synthesized evidence from multiple studies to demonstrate that RALM offers significant advantages, including reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and lower conversion rates to laparotomy, while maintaining comparable fertility outcomes. This work, with 24 citations, has become a cornerstone reference for surgeons evaluating robotic technology in fibroid management. Beyond this, Nappi’s research portfolio encompasses the broader evolution of robotic surgery in gynaecology, addressing both clinical efficacy and patient safety. His findings have directly influenced surgical guidelines and training protocols, positioning him as a key opinion leader in the field. For students and researchers, Nappi’s work exemplifies how rigorous meta-analytic methods can resolve clinical debates and drive evidence-based adoption of innovative technologies in reproductive surgery.
