About

Dr. Sarah Gustapane is a pioneering gynecologic surgeon whose research has fundamentally advanced the understanding and treatment of uterine fibroids. Her seminal 2012 work on the "Surgical Management of Neurovascular Bundle in Uterine Fibroid Pseudocapsule" (62 citations) introduced a paradigm-shifting concept: that the fibroid pseudocapsule is a neurovascular structure analogous to the prostate's neurovascular bundle. This discovery has profound implications for fertility-preserving myomectomy, as her nerve-sparing techniques help protect surrounding myometrial innervation and function. Dr. Gustapane is also a leading voice in robotic-assisted gynecologic surgery, as evidenced by her highly cited 2011 review (28 citations) that mapped the field's adoption, patents, and future directions. Her work bridges anatomical discovery with surgical innovation, directly improving outcomes for women undergoing minimally invasive procedures. By translating complex neuroanatomy into practical surgical strategies, Dr. Gustapane has established herself as a key figure in reproductive surgery, with her research cited by clinicians and scientists worldwide who seek to optimize both fibroid removal and uterine preservation.
