About

Raphael Gotlieb is a gynecologic oncologist whose research has significantly advanced the understanding and application of robotic surgery in the treatment of gynecologic cancers, particularly endometrial cancer. His work spans clinical outcomes, patient-reported quality of life, and cost-effectiveness — offering a comprehensive evaluation of minimally invasive surgical techniques in oncology. Gotlieb's most influential contribution, "Impact of robotics on the outcome of elderly patients with endometrial cancer" (2014), has accumulated 76 citations and highlights his focus on vulnerable patient populations who stand to benefit most from reduced surgical morbidity. His parallel investigations into age-stratified outcomes and vaginal vault dehiscence — a notable complication of robotic hysterectomy — reflect a rigorous, safety-conscious approach to surgical innovation. With over 229 total citations across his body of work, his research has meaningfully shaped clinical practice guidelines and surgical decision-making. Beyond technical outcomes, Gotlieb has been a consistent advocate for patient-centered care, publishing prospective studies on quality of life and postoperative pain and satisfaction following robotic procedures. His three-pronged framework for evaluating robotic surgery programs demonstrates a commitment to systemic, evidence-based assessment that bridges clinical excellence with institutional accountability — making his work essential reading for researchers and clinicians navigating the evolving landscape of minimally invasive gynecologic oncology.
