About

Noah A. Goldman is a leading gynecologic surgeon and researcher whose work has fundamentally shaped the modern approach to minimally invasive surgery for gynecologic cancers. His primary research areas include robotic surgery, surgical oncology, and the safety of power morcellation. Goldman’s most influential contribution is a landmark 2012 population-based study comparing robotic versus laparoscopic hysterectomy for endometrial cancer, which garnered 187 citations and provided critical evidence that robotic surgery is a safe and effective alternative in oncologic care. He has also advanced the field by investigating robotic surgery in obese gynecologic patients—a technically challenging population—demonstrating that robotic assistance can overcome traditional barriers to minimally invasive procedures. Additionally, Goldman contributed to the urgent safety discussion surrounding uterine leiomyosarcoma and power morcellation, publishing findings that helped inform FDA guidance. His work is widely cited and has directly influenced clinical practice, making him a key voice in the evolution of gynecologic surgery.
