About

Dr. Millie A. Behera is a leading gynecologic surgeon and researcher whose work has significantly advanced the field of minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, particularly in the treatment of uterine fibroids. Her most-cited study, a 2011 cost analysis comparing abdominal, laparoscopic, and robotic-assisted myomectomies (66 citations), provided critical evidence that robotic-assisted myomectomy, while effective, carries higher costs than traditional laparoscopy without clear clinical superiority. This landmark paper has shaped surgical decision-making and healthcare policy by highlighting the need for cost-effectiveness in surgical innovation. Beyond this, Dr. Behera has contributed extensively to understanding surgical outcomes, fertility preservation, and patient recovery in myomectomy procedures. Her research has influenced clinical guidelines and helped surgeons and patients weigh the trade-offs between surgical approaches. With a career dedicated to improving women’s health through evidence-based surgical practice, Dr. Behera’s work continues to inform both clinical protocols and the economic evaluation of emerging technologies in gynecology.
