About

Dr. Antoinette Sakaris is a rising leader in gynecologic oncology, with a focused research agenda on optimizing perioperative care and infection prevention in patients undergoing surgery for gynecologic malignancies. Her most impactful work, "Addition of metronidazole to standard-of-care perioperative prophylaxis at the time of hysterectomy for gynecologic malignancies" (2025), has already garnered 2 citations, signaling early recognition of its clinical significance. This study addresses a critical gap in surgical prophylaxis, demonstrating that adding metronidazole to standard antibiotic regimens can reduce postoperative infectious complications—a finding with direct implications for improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs. Dr. Sakaris’s contributions are particularly notable for their translational impact, bridging evidence-based pharmacology with real-world surgical practice. Her work underscores the importance of tailored antimicrobial strategies in immunocompromised oncology patients, a population often underrepresented in prophylaxis trials. As her research continues to gain traction, Dr. Sakaris is poised to shape guidelines for perioperative care in gynecologic oncology, making her a researcher to watch for students and clinicians interested in the intersection of surgery, infection control, and cancer care.
