About

Anna Festi is a gynecologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on improving surgical outcomes for women with endometrial cancer and benign gynecologic conditions. Her major contributions center on the safety and efficacy of minimally invasive techniques, particularly in hysterectomy and robotic-assisted surgery. She led a pivotal systematic review and meta-analysis on intrauterine manipulator use during laparoscopic hysterectomy for endometrial cancer, which has been cited 27 times and raised critical questions about oncologic safety. Festi also conducted an updated meta-analysis on the incidence and prevention of vaginal cuff dehiscence after laparoscopic and robotic hysterectomy, providing evidence-based strategies to reduce this rare but serious complication. In a notable achievement, she reported the first case series using the Versius® next-generation robotic surgical system for staging early-stage endometrial cancer, demonstrating the feasibility of this modular multi-arm platform. Her work directly informs clinical guidelines and surgical decision-making, with her most cited paper already influencing practice patterns. Festi’s research bridges the gap between emerging technology and patient safety, making her a valuable voice in the evolution of gynecologic oncology surgery.
