About
Gulden Menderes is a gynecologic surgeon and researcher whose work has significantly advanced the field of minimally invasive and robotic-assisted gynecologic surgery. Her research focuses on three interconnected areas: robotic hysterectomy for complex cases, surgical management of endometrial cancer, and innovative approaches to cervical insufficiency. Menderes has made particularly notable contributions by demonstrating the safety and feasibility of robotic surgery in challenging patient populations, including women with extremely large uteri exceeding 1,000 grams and morbidly obese patients — cases historically considered unsuitable for minimally invasive approaches. Among her most impactful contributions is her pioneering work on robot-assisted abdominal cerclage during pregnancy, a technically demanding procedure she helped legitimize through clinical outcomes data published across multiple studies. Her investigations into endometrial cancer staging, lymphadenectomy techniques, and lymphedema prevention reflect a commitment to improving oncologic outcomes while reducing surgical morbidity. She has also contributed to ongoing debates around transvaginal morcellation safety. With a body of work accumulating over 170 citations, Menderes has established herself as a trusted voice in robotic gynecologic surgery, offering practical guidance that directly shapes how surgeons approach complex uterine and cervical conditions worldwide.
