About

Stefano Rotolo is a leading figure in the advancement of minimally invasive gynecologic oncology, with a primary focus on robotic surgery for complex pelvic and aortic procedures. His major contribution lies in demonstrating the feasibility, safety, and oncological efficacy of robotic transperitoneal aortic lymphadenectomy, a technically demanding procedure for staging gynecological cancers. In his seminal 2018 study, Rotolo analyzed 71 patients, providing critical evidence that robotic AL yields favorable surgical outcomes, including reduced blood loss and shorter hospital stays, without compromising oncological results. This work, cited 17 times, has helped establish robotic techniques as a viable standard in high-risk endometrial and cervical cancer management. Beyond this, his research portfolio encompasses the broader integration of robotic platforms in gynecologic oncology, emphasizing improved perioperative outcomes and quality of life. Rotolo’s contributions are instrumental in shaping modern surgical protocols, offering students and researchers a clear example of how technological innovation can directly enhance patient care in cancer surgery.
