About

Dr. Anke Mothes is a leading researcher in gynecological surgery, with a focused expertise in robotic-assisted minimally invasive techniques and their application in older patient populations. Her major contribution lies in challenging conventional surgical boundaries by demonstrating that robotic-assisted gynecological procedures can be performed safely in elderly patients (over 65 years), who often present with more preoperative comorbidities. Her pivotal 2023 comparative cohort study, which has garnered early attention with 3 citations, provides critical evidence that age alone should not preclude patients from benefiting from advanced, less invasive surgical options. This work addresses a pressing demographic need, as aging populations increasingly require tailored surgical care. Dr. Mothes’ research bridges the gap between technological innovation and geriatric patient safety, offering a data-driven foundation for expanding minimally invasive surgery to vulnerable groups. Her findings are particularly valuable for surgeons and anesthesiologists seeking to optimize perioperative outcomes, making her a key voice in the evolving landscape of gynecological oncology and geriatric surgery.
