Professional experience
Clinical experience: During his pre-doctoral fellowship and in the first years of his residency,
Dr Di Spiezio Sardo earned notable experience in the management of postmenopausal issues,
including hormonal replacement therapy strategies and the prevention of postmenopausal
osteoporosis. He also developed in-deep knowledge in many aspects of gynaecological
endocrinology, such as pathophysiology of reproduction, contraception and, in a certain extent,
infertility. Since his clinical fellowship at Unit of Minimally Invasive Therapy & Endoscopy
Training Centre at Royal Free Hospital in London Dr. Di Spiezio Sardo’s main interest has become
Endoscopy. He is currently the Chief of the Hysteroscopy Unit at the Department of Obstetrics and
Gynaecology, University of Naples “Federico II”, where he has performed more than 10000
operative hysteroscopies, mostly in outpatient setting, applying the newest technical and
methodological approaches. The high level of his surgical skills is testified by many national and
international meetings where he has been personally invited to perform live hysteroscopic surgery.
Research experience: Dr. Di Spiezio Sardo’s field of interest is the research in gynaecological
endocrinology and endoscopic techniques. At the very beginning of his scientific career, paralleling
his clinical interests on postmenopausal issues, he participated to ongoing researches focused on the
endocrinology of the menopause and bone metabolism, also ideating an original line of research on
the effects of menopause on different organs of sense. Since 2003, his scientific interests have been
focusing mainly on the development and implementation of new hysteroscopic techniques. The
high quality level of both research and clinical projects developed by his team is testified by his
intensive scientific production as well as the many national and international meetings where he is
personally invited as a speaker.
Teaching experience: Dr Di Spiezio Sardo has and continues to contribute extensively in teaching
endoscopic and minimally invasive surgical techniques. He is currently in charge with the training
and professional development in gynaecological endoscopy at University “Federico II” of Naples
So far he has taught well over 80 national and international endoscopy courses and seminars and he
himself has actively organized several symposia and practical courses in his department and in other
institutions.
He has been member of the Teaching Faculty at Unit of Minimally Invasive Therapy & Endoscopy
Training Centre while at the Royal Free Hospital, London.

Furthermore he is author of 1 book, 4 book chapters and 1 educational DVD.
He has been personally invited as speakers in 90 national and international meetings and he has
actively organized 20 national and international courses and scientific meetings.
