About

Dr. Stephanie L. Wethington is a leading gynecologic oncologist and surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for the treatment of gynecologic malignancies, particularly endometrial cancer. Her most cited work, a 2018 study on minimally invasive hysterectomy rates for endometrial cancer performed at National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Centers (87 citations), has been instrumental in evaluating and promoting the adoption of less invasive surgical approaches in specialized cancer centers. Dr. Wethington has also pushed the boundaries of surgical innovation, as demonstrated by her pioneering work on robotic full lobe hepatectomy with natural orifice extraction. This groundbreaking technique, which combines robotic surgery with transvaginal specimen removal, shows potential for improving cosmetic outcomes, reducing postoperative narcotic use, and shortening hospital stays. Her contributions are shaping the future of gynecologic oncology by making complex surgeries safer and more patient-friendly. Dr. Wethington’s research continues to influence clinical practice and inspire the next generation of surgeons to explore novel, minimally invasive solutions.
