About
Anne-Sophie Bats is a leading figure in gynecologic oncology, renowned for her rigorous evaluation of robotic-assisted surgery. Her research centers on optimizing surgical outcomes for endometrial, cervical, and other gynecologic cancers, with a particular focus on the comparative effectiveness and cost-efficiency of robotic versus conventional laparoscopy. Her most cited work, a 2015 cost-effectiveness analysis (50 citations), provides critical evidence for healthcare decision-making, demonstrating that robotic surgery can be economically viable in specific oncologic indications. She has also made landmark contributions to understanding perioperative risk, notably through a large, prospective multicenter cohort of 248 patients that identified predictive factors for severe morbidity in radical hysterectomy for early-stage cervical cancer (28 citations). Beyond comparative studies, Dr. Bats has pioneered advanced techniques, including robotic extraperitoneal paraaortic lymphadenectomy and complex pelvic exenteration for recurrent cervical cancer after chemoradiation, showing the feasibility of these demanding procedures in irradiated tissue. Her work consistently addresses real-world clinical challenges, from surgical safety in elderly endometrial cancer patients to evidence-based guidelines for adopting robotic platforms. With over 200 total citations across her key papers, Dr. Bats’ research directly shapes surgical practice and policy in gynecologic oncology.
