About
Michela Longone is a leading figure in gynecologic oncology, with a focused expertise in fertility-preserving surgery for young women with cervical cancer. Her most cited work, a 2013 systematic review on radical trachelectomy, is a cornerstone in the field, synthesizing data from over 1,200 procedures to compare vaginal, abdominal, laparoscopic, and robotic techniques. This review, which has garnered 49 citations, critically evaluated surgical complications, disease recurrence, and pregnancy outcomes, establishing a comprehensive evidence base that guides clinical decision-making. Longone’s major contribution lies in demonstrating that radical trachelectomy is a safe and effective first step in fertility preservation, offering a viable alternative to hysterectomy without compromising oncological outcomes. Her work has directly shaped modern surgical protocols, empowering patients to retain reproductive potential while achieving cancer control. By systematically analyzing diverse surgical approaches, Longone has provided clarity on best practices, influencing how surgeons balance radicality with fertility goals. Her research continues to impact the lives of young women facing cervical cancer, cementing her reputation as a pioneer in reproductive-sparing oncology.
