About

Yves Borghesi is a leading figure in the field of minimally invasive surgical oncology, with a particular focus on urological and gynecological cancers. His research centers on refining robotic-assisted laparoscopic techniques to improve the safety and efficacy of complex cancer staging and treatment. Borghesi’s most notable contribution is his pioneering work on extraperitoneal para-aortic lymphadenectomy, a critical procedure for staging cancers of the prostate, bladder, and cervix. His 2018 paper on this technique, which has garnered 16 citations, demonstrates a novel approach that reduces operative trauma and recovery time by avoiding entry into the peritoneal cavity. This work has helped establish a new standard for lymph node dissection in high-risk patients, directly impacting surgical decision-making and patient outcomes. Beyond this, Borghesi has contributed to the broader adoption of robotic surgery, emphasizing precision and reproducibility. His achievements underscore a career dedicated to translating technological innovation into tangible clinical benefits, making him a respected authority in advancing the frontiers of cancer surgery.
