About

Dr. Stephanie A. Sullivan is a leading gynecologic surgeon and researcher whose work has significantly advanced the fields of minimally invasive robotic surgery and gynecologic oncology. Her research primarily focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes for complex patient populations, with a particular emphasis on the intersection of obesity and robotic gynecologic procedures. Dr. Sullivan’s most influential work, “Obesity and perioperative pulmonary complications in robotic gynecologic surgery” (52 citations), established critical benchmarks for managing respiratory risks in obese patients undergoing robotic surgery, a growing concern in modern surgical practice. She has also been instrumental in the evolution of endometrial cancer care, notably through her work on sentinel lymph node biopsy, which she explored in a highly-cited 2017 paper (29 citations) that helped solidify this technique as a new standard of care. Additionally, her investigations into mesh exposure following robotic sacrocolpopexy have provided essential data on surgical safety, comparing outcomes with and without concomitant hysterectomy. Through these contributions, Dr. Sullivan has helped shape safer, more effective surgical protocols, earning her recognition as a key figure in the advancement of robotic gynecologic surgery.
