About
Dr. Terhi Puhto is a leading figure in gynecologic surgery, with a focused expertise in the surgical management of deep endometriosis. Her primary research centers on advancing minimally invasive techniques to improve outcomes for patients suffering from this debilitating condition, which affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age. Dr. Puhto’s most notable contribution is her leadership in the ROBEndo trial, a landmark randomized controlled trial comparing robotic-assisted versus conventional laparoscopic surgery for severe deep endometriosis. This work, published in 2022 and already garnering 14 citations, addresses a critical gap in evidence-based practice for complex procedures requiring advanced skill. By rigorously evaluating the efficacy and safety of robotic systems in excising deeply infiltrating lesions, her research directly informs surgical decision-making and has the potential to set new standards of care. Dr. Puhto’s work is instrumental in shaping the future of gynecologic surgery, offering hope for improved pain relief and quality of life for patients worldwide.
