About

Dr. Vittoria Carbone is a leading figure in gynecologic oncology, specializing in minimally invasive and robotic surgical approaches for complex patient populations. Her research focuses on expanding the boundaries of surgical candidacy, particularly for elderly and very elderly women with gynecologic cancers. In her landmark 2018 study, "Robotic Surgery in Elderly and Very Elderly Gynecologic Cancer Patients" (58 citations), she demonstrated that robotic surgery is not only feasible but safe in this often-underrepresented group, challenging age-based treatment biases. Dr. Carbone further advanced the field with her work on "Minimally invasive salvage lymphadenectomy in gynecological cancer patients" (44 citations), where she refined techniques for managing recurrent disease, offering patients less invasive options for complex lymph node dissections. Her contributions have directly influenced clinical guidelines, proving that advanced age need not preclude patients from receiving state-of-the-art, low-morbidity surgical care. Through her meticulous series and outcomes data, Dr. Carbone has established herself as a pioneer in tailoring surgical innovation to the most vulnerable patients, improving both survival and quality of life.
