About
Claudia Prasciolu is a pioneering gynecologic surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive techniques for the surgical management of gynecologic cancers, particularly endometrial cancer. Her primary research focuses on the integration of robotic laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) surgery with sentinel lymph node mapping using fluorescence imaging. In her landmark 2018 prospective case series, Prasciolu demonstrated the feasibility of combining these technologies, showing that indocyanine green fluorescence could effectively identify sentinel nodes during robotic LESS procedures in early endometrial cancer. This work represents a significant step toward reducing surgical invasiveness while maintaining oncologic safety, offering patients the potential for fewer incisions, less postoperative pain, and faster recovery. Although her citation counts are still growing, her contributions are notable for their technical innovation and direct clinical applicability. By merging robotics, single-site access, and real-time lymphatic mapping, Prasciolu is helping to define a new standard for precision surgery in gynecologic oncology, making her a researcher to watch in the evolving landscape of cancer care.
