About
Dr. Alexa Henderson is a gynecologic oncologist whose research focuses on improving surgical outcomes and reducing hospital readmissions in patients undergoing minimally invasive hysterectomy for gynecologic cancers. Her most cited work, "Who will be readmitted? Evaluation of the laparoscopic hysterectomy readmission score in a gynecologic oncology population undergoing robotic-assisted hysterectomy" (2021, 10 citations), represents a critical contribution to perioperative risk stratification. In this study, Dr. Henderson validated a predictive scoring system specifically for robotic-assisted hysterectomy patients, enabling clinicians to identify those at highest risk for post-discharge complications and target them for enhanced follow-up care. This work directly addresses a major challenge in gynecologic oncology: balancing the benefits of minimally invasive surgery with the need to prevent costly and distressing readmissions. By tailoring risk assessment to the unique population of cancer patients undergoing robotic procedures, her research has practical implications for clinical decision-making and resource allocation. Dr. Henderson’s scholarship exemplifies the translation of surgical quality metrics into actionable tools that improve patient outcomes and healthcare efficiency.
