About
Dr. Gretchen Glaser is a leading gynecologic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing robotic surgery for uterine and endometrial cancer, with an emphasis on improving patient outcomes, reducing costs, and enhancing perioperative care. Her most influential work demonstrates that implementing robotic surgery for uterine cancer yields better outcomes without increased costs (48 citations), and that sentinel lymph node biopsy during robotic-assisted endometrial cancer staging further improves perioperative results (46 citations). Dr. Glaser also pioneered the Da Vinci-assisted abdominal cerclage technique (38 citations), a notable achievement in reproductive surgery. Her recent studies have driven a paradigm shift from inpatient to outpatient hysterectomy for endometrial cancer, highlighting trends, enabling factors, cost savings, and safety (17 citations). She has also investigated ergonomic robotic console configurations to reduce surgeon strain (28 citations) and validated a robotic hysterectomy simulator for training (4 citations). With ongoing work on same-day discharge protocols and opioid-sparing analgesia, Dr. Glaser continues to shape minimally invasive gynecologic oncology, making surgery safer, more efficient, and more accessible.
