About
Damaris Erhardt is a pioneering gynecologic surgeon and researcher at the forefront of next-generation minimally invasive surgery. Her primary research focuses on advancing robotic-assisted hysterectomy techniques, with a particular emphasis on making robotic surgery more flexible, accessible, and seamlessly integrated with traditional laparoscopy. Dr. Erhardt’s major contributions center on the clinical evaluation of the DEXTER® Robotic Surgery System, a novel mobile and modular platform designed to overcome the rigidity and high costs of conventional robotic systems. In her landmark 2025 multicenter study, she demonstrated the system’s feasibility and safety for total hysterectomy with adnexal surgery, providing critical evidence for its adoption. She further advanced the field by conceptualizing "on-demand robotic surgery," a hybrid approach that allows surgeons to toggle between robotic and laparoscopic interfaces during a single procedure—combining the precision of robotics with the flexibility of standard laparoscopy. Her work, already garnering citations in the emerging field of next-gen surgical robotics, is shaping how surgeons think about operative adaptability. Dr. Erhardt’s research is instrumental in democratizing robotic surgery, promising to expand access to advanced minimally invasive care for patients worldwide.
