About
Dr. Paolo Mannella is a leading figure in robotic-assisted pelvic floor reconstructive surgery, with a focused expertise in treating advanced pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and other complex pelvic floor dysfunctions in women. His major contributions center on pioneering and refining minimally invasive surgical techniques, most notably the robotic-assisted lateral suspension (RALS) procedure. Dr. Mannella has been instrumental in demonstrating the safety, feasibility, and medium-term efficacy of this innovative approach, as evidenced by his prospective case series of 115 patients. His work extends to standardizing surgical protocols, such as suturing patterns for sacrocolpopexy, and evaluating the comparative performance of different robotic platforms like the da Vinci Si and Xi. With over 130 total citations, his research has shaped best practices, including an international Delphi study that established expert consensus on robotic pelvic floor reconstruction. Notably, he also reported the first case of single-site robotic-assisted apical lateral suspension, highlighting his role in pushing the boundaries of surgical innovation. Through his rigorous outcomes research and technical advancements, Dr. Mannella continues to bridge the gap between surgical success and improved quality of life for elderly women suffering from pelvic floor disorders.
