About
Dr. Manuela Mastronardi is a leading figure in the surgical management of endometriosis, with a particular focus on optimizing minimally invasive techniques for deep infiltrating disease. Her research is centered on the comparative effectiveness of robotic-assisted laparoscopy versus standard laparoscopy, and the integration of advanced intraoperative imaging to improve lesion detection. Her most cited work, a 2020 case-control study (46 citations), pioneered the use of real-time near-infrared imaging with indocyanine green during robotic surgery, demonstrating its superiority over standard two-dimensional cameras for identifying hidden endometriotic implants. This contribution directly addresses a critical clinical challenge: the complete removal of microscopic disease. Dr. Mastronardi has further advanced the field by rigorously comparing perioperative outcomes, showing that robot-assisted surgery for rectosigmoid endometriosis offers distinct advantages over conventional laparoscopy (23 citations). Her work provides crucial evidence for surgeons seeking to balance radical excision with reduced morbidity, solidifying her reputation as a key innovator in complex gynecologic surgery.
