About
Pasquale De Franciscis is a leading figure in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, whose work is reshaping how benign and malignant conditions are treated. His research centers on advancing surgical precision through innovative imaging and comparative effectiveness studies. A landmark contribution is his systematic review on the use of near-infrared radiation imaging with indocyanine green (NIR-ICG) during laparoscopic procedures for benign gynecologic conditions. This work, which has garnered 20 citations, demonstrates how real-time lymphatic mapping can minimize surgical trauma, moving the field toward what he terms "minimalized surgery." More recently, De Franciscis has tackled the complex challenge of managing endometrial cancer in severely obese patients. His 2025 network meta-analysis, comparing robotic, laparoscopic, and laparotomic approaches, provides crucial evidence on safety and lymph node retrieval efficacy in this high-risk population. By synthesizing data from multiple studies, he offers surgeons a clear roadmap for optimizing outcomes. With a career dedicated to refining surgical techniques and validating them through rigorous evidence, De Franciscis is a pivotal voice in the evolution of gynecologic oncology and minimally invasive surgery.
