About
Manuela Maletta is a leading researcher in the surgical management of endometriosis, with a focused expertise in minimally invasive and robotic-assisted gynecologic surgery. Her major contributions center on evaluating and optimizing perioperative outcomes for patients with complex endometriosis, particularly rectosigmoid involvement. In her highly cited 2021 study, she conducted a rigorous comparison of perioperative outcomes between standard laparoscopic surgery and the robot-assisted approach for rectosigmoid endometriosis, providing critical data on the feasibility and safety of robotic techniques in this challenging patient population. This work, which has garnered 23 citations, directly addressed conflicting evidence in the field and helped guide surgical decision-making. More recently, Maletta has advanced the clinical application of classification systems, investigating the correlation between the AAGL 2021 endometriosis classification and the occurrence of perioperative complications. Her research is instrumental in refining surgical risk stratification and improving patient counseling. Through her comparative effectiveness studies and validation of surgical classifications, Maletta is shaping evidence-based standards for endometriosis surgery, making her work essential reading for surgeons and researchers dedicated to advancing gynecologic surgical care.
