About

Michael D. Mueller is a pioneering gynecologic surgeon whose work has reshaped the surgical management of endometrial cancer and uterine anomalies. His primary research focuses on sentinel lymph node mapping, minimally invasive surgical innovation, and the treatment of cesarean scar defects. Dr. Mueller’s landmark 2016 study on laparoscopic indocyanine green (ICG) sentinel lymph node mapping in endometrial cancer (87 citations) established a critical benchmark for detection rates and false-negative assessments, advancing the standard of care for nodal staging. He also introduced the novel “Rendez-vous technique” for cesarean scar defects (40 citations), a combined endoscopic approach that has become a reference procedure in reproductive surgery. Demonstrating his commitment to surgical technology, Dr. Mueller has rigorously evaluated next-generation platforms, including the Kymerax® articulating system (26 citations) and the DEXTER® Robotic Surgery System, leading multicenter assessments of its feasibility for total hysterectomy. His ongoing SLYMEC II study (2025) provides crucial survival data on lymphovascular space invasion in early-stage endometrial cancer. With a career spanning from foundational laparoscopic techniques to cutting-edge modular robotics, Dr. Mueller continues to drive evidence-based innovation in gynecologic surgery.
