About
Nicola Berlanda is a leading figure in the surgical management of endometriosis, with a research focus on evidence-based care, surgical innovation, and the critical evaluation of treatment efficacy. Her major contributions lie in challenging established clinical practices to improve patient outcomes and reduce unnecessary interventions. In her highly cited 2019 position statement, "When more is not better: 10 ‘don’ts’ in endometriosis management," Berlanda and a network of 16 Italian academic departments provided a landmark critical appraisal of the evidence, defining ten specific measures to be de-implemented in clinical practice. This work, with 62 citations, has become a cornerstone for rationalizing endometriosis care. Berlanda also critically examined the role of robotic-assisted laparoscopy in her 2017 paper, "‘Money for nothing’," questioning its cost-effectiveness for endometriosis treatment. Her work is notable for its direct impact on clinical guidelines and its emphasis on high-quality evidence over technological hype, making her a respected voice in reproductive surgery and a champion for patient-centered, value-based care.
