About
Dr. Peter J. Frederick is a leading gynecologic oncologist whose research has profoundly shaped postoperative pain management and surgical training in robotic surgery. His most impactful work addresses the opioid crisis through an ultrarestrictive opioid prescription protocol for gynecologic and abdominal surgery, demonstrating that minimal opioid use can effectively manage pain while reducing addiction risks—a study cited over 120 times. Dr. Frederick also pioneered the development of the Robotic Hysterectomy Assessment Score (RHAS), a validated tool for objectively measuring surgical competency in robot-assisted hysterectomy, ensuring trainees meet rigorous standards. His survey of gynecologic oncology fellowship programs, cited 36 times, revealed the rapid integration of robotic surgery into training, influencing curriculum design nationwide. By combining evidence-based opioid stewardship with innovative surgical education, Dr. Frederick has improved patient safety and advanced the field’s approach to minimally invasive surgery. His work continues to guide clinical protocols and training frameworks, making him a pivotal figure in modern gynecologic oncology.
