About

Dr. Fahima Dossa is a leading surgical oncologist and health services researcher whose work focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes for women with gynecologic cancers, particularly in the context of obesity and minimally invasive approaches. Her landmark 2019 systematic review and meta-analysis, cited over 170 times, critically evaluated laparoscopic and robotic hysterectomy in endometrial cancer patients with obesity, revealing key insights into conversion rates and complication profiles that directly inform clinical decision-making. In a second highly influential study (139 citations), Dr. Dossa examined the impact of surgical approach on oncologic outcomes after radical hysterectomy for cervical cancer, providing crucial evidence on the trade-offs between minimally invasive and open surgery. Her research has helped shape guidelines for surgical management in high-risk populations, bridging the gap between technological innovation and patient safety. Dr. Dossa’s work is distinguished by its rigorous methodology and direct clinical applicability, making her a vital voice in the ongoing evolution of gynecologic oncology surgery.
