About
Benjamin Merlot is a gynecological surgeon whose work sits at the intersection of minimally invasive robotic surgery and the treatment of complex endometriosis. His research has fundamentally advanced the understanding of how robot-assisted laparoscopy can be applied to some of the most challenging presentations of endometriosis, including rare and technically demanding cases involving the diaphragm, sciatic nerve, and rectovaginal space. His early work on nerve-sparing radical hysterectomy (2012, 28 citations) demonstrated the urinary morbidity benefits of robotic approaches in cervical cancer, establishing his credentials in precision pelvic surgery. Over time, Merlot has focused increasingly on deep infiltrating endometriosis, producing influential series on diaphragmatic excision, colorectal resection using natural orifice specimen extraction, and neuroanatomically guided robotic dissection of sciatic nerve lesions — work that has attracted growing international attention. His comparative and multicentric studies, drawing on large French surgical databases, lend his findings strong clinical credibility. With over 145 cumulative citations across a decade of output, Merlot's contributions are reshaping surgical standards for severe endometriosis and offering reproducible, patient-centered techniques for surgeons navigating the most complex territory in gynecological oncology and benign disease.
