About

Leda Gattoc is a gynecologic surgeon and clinical researcher whose work has made meaningful contributions to the understanding of minimally invasive surgical approaches in gynecology, with a particular focus on hysterectomy and the evolving role of robotic technology in operative care. Her research has critically examined how the introduction of robotic surgery has shifted the routes by which hysterectomies are performed, revealing important implications not only for patient outcomes but also for the training and education of surgical residents. Through multicenter, retrospective cohort analyses conducted under the Fellows' Pelvic Research Network, Gattoc has helped illuminate how perioperative complication profiles vary across different hysterectomy approaches before and after robotic platforms became widely adopted. Her most-cited work, published in 2014 and accumulating 26 citations, highlighted the complex trade-offs that accompany technological innovation in the operating room — particularly how robotics may alter surgical decision-making in ways that affect trainee skill development. Gattoc's contributions resonate with educators, program directors, and clinicians seeking to balance the benefits of emerging surgical technology with the imperative of producing competent, well-rounded gynecologic surgeons.
