About
Dr. T.B. Turner is a leading gynecologic oncologist and surgeon-scientist whose research focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes for patients with endometrial cancer, with a particular emphasis on robotic-assisted surgery. Her most impactful work, cited 22 times, compared postoperative pain and narcotic use in robotic-assisted versus laparoscopic hysterectomy for endometrial cancer staging, providing critical evidence that robotic approaches can reduce opioid consumption and improve recovery. Dr. Turner has also made seminal contributions to surgical education by mapping the robotic hysterectomy learning curve and re-establishing training metrics, a 2021 study that has garnered 14 citations for its objective assessment of surgical proficiency. Her research further demonstrates a commitment to refining intraoperative decision-making, as shown in her work evaluating the reliability of intraoperative assessment for predicting tumor characteristics in endometrial cancer. Through these studies, Dr. Turner has advanced both clinical practice and surgical training, establishing evidence-based benchmarks that improve patient care and surgeon development. Her work continues to shape the field of minimally invasive gynecologic oncology.
