About
Dr. Carrie Langstraat is a leading gynecologic oncologist and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques—particularly robotic surgery—for the treatment of uterine and cervical cancers. Her major contributions have reshaped perioperative care and health policy, demonstrating that robotic-assisted hysterectomy and sentinel lymph node biopsy can improve patient outcomes without increasing costs. Her landmark 2019 study on implementing robotic surgery for uterine cancer (48 citations) and her work on sentinel node biopsy (46 citations) provided pivotal evidence for national adoption. Dr. Langstraat has also been instrumental in driving the shift from inpatient to outpatient hysterectomy for endometrial cancer, showing that same-day discharge is both safe and feasible (2025 study, 4 citations). Her 2020 interrogation of survival outcomes in cervical cancer patients comparing open versus robotic radical hysterectomy (20 citations) offered critical surgical pathology insights. Beyond clinical research, she validated the first robotic hysterectomy simulator (2022, 4 citations), advancing surgical education. With a growing portfolio of high-impact studies, Dr. Langstraat continues to shape the future of gynecologic oncology by prioritizing cost-effective, patient-centered surgical innovation.
