About

Nicola Pluchino is a leading gynecologic surgeon whose research has advanced the field of minimally invasive surgery, particularly through the application of robotic technology. His work primarily focuses on robotic single-site surgery and its use in complex gynecologic procedures, including hysterectomy and myomectomy. Pluchino’s major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility and safety of robotic single-site hysterectomy, with his seminal 2013 paper on the topic accumulating 79 citations and establishing a foundational learning curve for the technique. He also provided critical comparative data on robotic versus laparoscopic myomectomy, showing that robotic approaches offer distinct advantages in surgical outcomes for symptomatic uterine myomas. His research on fertility and endocrine outcomes after robot-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy (48 citations) has been particularly impactful, addressing concerns about postoperative uterine rupture and blood loss. Pluchino has further explored the limits of robotic single-site surgery by combining cholecystectomy and hysterectomy in a single procedure. His work has been instrumental in validating robotic techniques as safe and effective alternatives to traditional laparoscopy, helping to shape modern gynecologic surgical practice and improve patient recovery.
