About

Metin E. Goktepe is a clinical researcher specializing in gynecologic surgery, with a focus on optimizing outcomes and healthcare efficiency for benign hysterectomy procedures. His work centers on identifying patient and procedural factors that influence surgical costs and recovery pathways. Goktepe’s major contributions include landmark studies on the predictors of cost in hysterectomy for benign indications (2020, 13 citations) and, most notably, predictors of same-day discharge after minimally invasive hysterectomy (2021, 11 citations). In the latter study, a retrospective cohort analysis of over 1,000 women, he identified key variables enabling safe, same-day discharge—a finding that directly supports enhanced recovery protocols and reduced hospital stays. His research has practical implications for improving patient care while lowering healthcare system burdens. Though early in his career, Goktepe’s work is already cited as a reference for evidence-based surgical management. His dedication to data-driven gynecologic practice positions him as an emerging authority in benign gynecologic surgery and perioperative optimization.
