About

Dr. Ganesa Wegienka is a leading epidemiologist and health services researcher whose work centers on women’s health, particularly the surgical management of uterine fibroids and minimally invasive gynecologic procedures. Her major contributions include spearheading the COMPARE-UF registry, a landmark patient-centered initiative that has generated critical evidence on quality-of-life outcomes after fibroid treatments—her 2018 registry rationale paper alone has garnered 65 citations. She has systematically evaluated how patient factors like body mass index and uterine weight affect surgical outcomes in robotic-assisted hysterectomy and myomectomy, with several of these studies (e.g., 2011 BMI analysis, 49 citations) shaping clinical guidelines. Her comparative effectiveness research, such as the 2012 study on robotic versus other minimally invasive hysterectomy (68 citations), has helped surgeons and patients make evidence-based decisions. Notably, her 2023 long-term quality-of-life study (35 citations) provides vital follow-up data on symptom relief after hysterectomy, myomectomy, and uterine artery embolization. Dr. Wegienka’s work—bridging surgical innovation, patient-reported outcomes, and real-world registry data—has profoundly influenced how clinicians counsel women with fibroids, making her a pivotal voice in modern gynecologic care.
