About
Linnea Ekdahl is a Swedish gynecologic oncologist whose research centers on minimally invasive surgical approaches, sentinel lymph node mapping, and fertility-sparing procedures for early-stage cervical and endometrial cancer. She has made significant contributions to understanding the comparative outcomes of robotic versus open radical hysterectomy, most notably through a landmark nationwide population-based cohort study (2019, 105 citations) demonstrating no survival difference between the two approaches — work that has meaningfully shaped surgical decision-making internationally. Ekdahl has also advanced the field of sentinel lymph node (SLN) detection, refining anatomically based algorithms to optimize nodal staging in both cervical and endometrial cancer, and demonstrating important parallels in SLN distribution across these malignancies. Her investigations into robot-assisted radical trachelectomy reflect a deep commitment to preserving fertility in young cancer patients, with multicenter studies documenting long-term oncologic safety and reproductive outcomes. Notably, she has also explored practical strategies to reduce obstetric complications following trachelectomy. With a growing body of work spanning surgical technique, oncologic safety, quality of life, and reproductive health, Ekdahl has established herself as a leading voice in evidence-based gynecologic oncology surgery.
