About

Dr. Steven Depasquale is a pioneering figure in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, with a focused expertise in robotic-assisted techniques and their application during pregnancy. His most cited work, "Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Ovarian Cystectomy during Pregnancy" (2011, 10 citations), represents a landmark contribution to the field by demonstrating the feasibility and safety of robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALS) for adnexal masses in pregnant patients. This research directly challenged the traditional reliance on laparotomy or conventional laparoscopy, offering a novel, less invasive alternative that reduces maternal morbidity while preserving fetal outcomes. Dr. Depasquale’s work has been instrumental in expanding the role of robotics beyond gynecologic oncology into obstetrics, a previously underexplored domain. His findings have informed clinical guidelines and inspired further investigation into robotic applications during gestation, impacting surgical decision-making for high-risk pregnancies. By bridging the gap between advanced surgical technology and obstetric care, Dr. Depasquale has established himself as a key innovator, with his citation record reflecting the growing recognition of his contributions among surgeons and maternal-fetal medicine specialists alike.
