G. Larry Maxwell

About

Dr. G. Larry Maxwell is a leading clinical researcher in gynecologic surgery, with a primary focus on patient-centered outcomes for uterine fibroids. His major contributions center on the COMPARE-UF (Comparing Options for Management: PAtient-centered REsults for Uterine Fibroids) registry, a landmark initiative he helped design and lead. This registry, detailed in a foundational 2018 paper (65 citations), systematically tracks real-world patient experiences, enabling robust comparisons of treatment effectiveness. Dr. Maxwell’s work has provided critical evidence on how hysterectomy, myomectomy, and uterine artery embolization affect quality of life. His 2019 study (61 citations) demonstrated significant short-term improvements in symptom severity and quality of life following myomectomy, while his more recent 2023 analysis (35 citations) offers long-term comparative data, showing sustained benefits across all three procedures. By prioritizing patient-reported outcomes, Dr. Maxwell has empowered women and clinicians to make more informed, preference-sensitive decisions about fibroid management. His research is widely cited for its rigorous methodology and its direct impact on clinical guidelines and shared decision-making in gynecologic care.
