About

Dr. Smaranda Stoleru is a pioneering Romanian surgeon whose work sits at the intersection of minimally invasive oncology and reproductive health. Her research primarily focuses on advanced surgical techniques for endometriosis and breast cancer, with a particular emphasis on patient-reported outcomes and quality of life. Dr. Stoleru’s most cited paper, "Impact of Minimally Invasive Surgery on Quality of Life and Infertility in Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis" (2025), addresses the chronic, debilitating effects of this estrogen-dependent disease, which affects up to 10% of women of reproductive age. By evaluating how surgery impacts pelvic pain, infertility, and psychological distress, her work provides critical evidence for improving holistic patient care. In a landmark achievement for Romanian medicine, Dr. Stoleru performed the country’s first robotic-assisted mastectomy, documented in her 2024 paper. This procedure, a robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy, represents a significant step forward in prophylactic and oncological breast surgery. While her citation counts are currently modest, reflecting the novelty of her contributions, her work is foundational for future studies validating robotic techniques in cancer treatment. Dr. Stoleru’s dedication to merging surgical innovation with quality-of-life research positions her as a rising leader in women’s health and surgical oncology.
