About

Simona Del Forno is a gynecological surgeon and clinical researcher whose work centers on minimally invasive surgical approaches to complex gynecological conditions, with particular focus on endometriosis and endometrial carcinoma. Her research has made meaningful contributions to the ongoing debate surrounding robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) versus standard laparoscopy, providing clinicians with comparative perioperative data to guide surgical decision-making. Among her most recognized contributions is a 2021 study examining outcomes in patients undergoing surgery for rectosigmoid endometriosis — one of the most technically demanding manifestations of the disease — comparing robotic and standard laparoscopic techniques, which has garnered 23 citations. Building on this foundation, her 2022 investigation into sentinel lymph node biopsy techniques for endometrial carcinoma further extended her comparative surgical research into oncological gynecology, accumulating 13 citations. Del Forno's work is particularly valuable to trainees and practicing surgeons navigating the rapid adoption of robotic platforms in gynecological surgery. By systematically evaluating feasibility, safety, and outcomes across surgical modalities, she helps establish evidence-based frameworks where clinical consensus has historically been limited, positioning her as an important voice in advancing precision minimally invasive gynecological care.
