About

Dr. Marco Petrillo is a leading gynecologic surgeon whose research is redefining the role of minimally invasive surgery in complex oncologic and benign conditions. His work focuses on comparing robotic and laparoscopic approaches for gynecologic cancers, with landmark studies demonstrating the feasibility of robotic staging for early ovarian cancer (66 citations) and robotic total mesometrial resection for early cervical cancer. A pioneer in the management of recurrent disease, Dr. Petrillo has authored seminal papers on minimally invasive secondary cytoreduction combined with HIPEC, showing comparable perioperative outcomes to open surgery while reducing morbidity (64 and 47 citations). Beyond oncology, his comparative analysis of robotic versus laparoscopic surgery for rectosigmoid endometriosis (23 citations) has helped clarify the benefits of robotic assistance in challenging pelvic dissections. Dr. Petrillo also contributes to surgical education and ergonomics, surveying the Italian surgical landscape to address the high rate of musculoskeletal disorders among surgeons. His most recent work evaluates the novel Hugo™ RAS system, positioning him at the forefront of emerging robotic platforms in gynecology. With a career dedicated to advancing surgical precision and patient recovery, Dr. Petrillo’s research has garnered over 230 citations, establishing him as a key voice in the evolution of minimally invasive gynecologic surgery.
