About

Andrea Della Penna is a surgical researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive techniques for the management of rare pelvic tumors. Her primary research focus is the laparoscopic resection of pelvic schwannomas—benign nerve sheath tumors that pose significant surgical challenges due to their deep anatomical location. Della Penna’s major contribution lies in demonstrating the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic approaches for these complex cases, particularly for schwannomas situated in the lateral pelvic space, where open surgery has traditionally been the standard. Her landmark 2018 paper, "Advantage of laparoscopic resection for pelvic Schwannoma," has garnered 20 citations, serving as a key reference for surgeons exploring minimally invasive options in this niche area. By providing a detailed case report and highlighting the benefits of reduced morbidity and faster recovery, Della Penna has helped expand the surgical toolkit for treating these rare tumors. Her work underscores a broader commitment to improving patient outcomes through innovation in surgical oncology, making her a valuable contributor to the field of laparoscopic pelvic surgery.
