About

Dr. Violante Di Donato is a leading gynecologic oncologist whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for the treatment of gynecologic malignancies, particularly cervical and endometrial cancers. Her work has been instrumental in evaluating and comparing surgical approaches—including radical hysterectomy, robotic-assisted, laparoscopic, and vaginal hysterectomy—to optimize outcomes for patients at varying stages of disease and with different risk profiles. Notably, her 2022 study on radical hysterectomy for early-stage cervical cancer (62 citations) has become a key reference in the ongoing debate over minimally invasive versus open surgery, providing critical retrospective data that informs current clinical guidelines. Dr. Di Donato has also pioneered research on surgical management in morbidly obese patients with endometrial hyperplasia and cancer, demonstrating that minimally invasive approaches can be safely and effectively employed in this challenging population (2024, 11 citations). Her mini-review comparing robotic and laparoscopic techniques in obese endometrial cancer patients (2023) further underscores her commitment to refining surgical strategies for high-risk groups. Through her rigorous comparative studies and comprehensive reviews, Dr. Di Donato has significantly advanced the evidence base for personalized, minimally invasive gynecologic oncology surgery.
