About

Dr. Stephanie Morris is a leading researcher in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, with a focus on advancing patient-centered care and surgical safety. Her work has been instrumental in understanding both patient preferences and clinical adoption of laparoscopic techniques. Her 2011 study, “Women’s Preferences for Minimally Invasive Incisions” (56 citations), provided critical insights into how patient values align with surgical innovation, influencing shared decision-making in gynecology. She further examined systemic barriers in her 2015 paper, “Minimally Invasive Specialists and Rates of Laparoscopic Hysterectomy” (45 citations), which investigated how dedicated departments for minimally invasive gynecologic surgery can accelerate the adoption of laparoscopic hysterectomy over traditional open approaches. Dr. Morris has also contributed to safety innovations, notably through her study on “Efficacy of Contained Tissue Extraction for Minimizing Tissue Dissemination During Laparoscopic Hysterectomy and Myomectomy” (5 citations), which evaluated a novel technique to reduce risks associated with electromechanical morcellation. Her research bridges clinical practice and patient advocacy, helping to shape safer, more accessible surgical options. With over 100 combined citations, Dr. Morris continues to influence the evolution of gynecologic surgery toward less invasive, more effective treatments.
