About
Denise Uyar is a gynecologic oncologist whose research focuses on refining surgical techniques and improving perioperative care for women with gynecologic malignancies. Her work centers on two key areas: optimizing sentinel lymph node mapping in endometrial cancer and advancing same-day discharge protocols after robotic hysterectomy. Uyar’s 2019 study on "adipose-only sentinel lymph nodes" provided critical insights during the adaptation of indocyanine green mapping algorithms, helping surgeons interpret atypical findings and avoid unnecessary lymphadenectomies. This work has garnered 11 citations, reflecting its practical value in the operating room. More recently, she has led quality improvement initiatives demonstrating the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of same-day discharge after robotic hysterectomy for gynecologic cancer. Her 2022 study on a low-cost education initiative to increase same-day discharge rates (3 citations) and her 2021 cost analysis (1 citation) highlight her commitment to resource stewardship and patient-centered recovery. By combining technical innovation with systems-level improvements, Uyar is shaping a future where cancer surgery is both less invasive and more efficient.
