About

Dr. Stefanie Ueda is a leading gynecologic oncologist whose research is centered on optimizing surgical outcomes and healthcare delivery for women with gynecologic cancers. Her most influential work focuses on the implementation of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathways, demonstrating that structured perioperative protocols significantly improve recovery times and reduce complications for patients undergoing minimally invasive gynecologic oncology surgery. This landmark study, with over 100 citations, has helped establish ERAS as a standard of care in the field. Dr. Ueda has also made critical contributions to understanding the economic and utilization patterns of surgical approaches for endometrial cancer. Her comparative analysis of robotic, laparoscopic, and open surgery—detailing hospital charges and adoption trends—provides essential data for value-based care decisions. With a career dedicated to advancing both clinical outcomes and health systems research, Dr. Ueda’s work bridges the gap between surgical innovation and practical, patient-centered implementation. Her research continues to shape best practices in gynecologic oncology, directly impacting how surgeons and hospitals deliver care.
