About

Dr. Claire Gould is a leading figure in gynecologic oncology, with a focused expertise in robotic surgery for the management of endometrial cancer. Her most impactful work addresses the critical intersection of surgical precision and patient safety, particularly for obese patients—a population at elevated risk for this disease. Her landmark 2012 study on robotic surgical staging for obese patients with endometrial cancer, cited 52 times, demonstrated that minimally invasive techniques can be safely and effectively applied to this challenging demographic, reducing complications and improving recovery. Complementing this, her innovative work on the blinded measurement of Trendelenburg angle during pelvic robotic surgery (40 citations) introduced a novel method to quantify patient positioning, a key factor in preventing intraoperative injuries and optimizing surgical outcomes. By developing objective metrics for a previously subjective parameter, Dr. Gould has enhanced the reproducibility and safety of robotic procedures. Her contributions have directly influenced surgical protocols, making advanced care more accessible to high-risk patients and solidifying her reputation as a pioneer in evidence-based, patient-centered gynecologic oncology.
