About
Dr. Steve McCarus is a leading figure in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, with a focus on advancing robotic-assisted technologies to improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs. His primary research areas include benign hysterectomy techniques, comparative effectiveness of surgical platforms, and the economics of robotic surgery. Dr. McCarus is best known for his landmark 2021 study comparing the Senhance surgical system against da Vinci robotics and laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH). This real-world assessment, cited 27 times, provided critical data on case times and instrument costs, demonstrating that Senhance offers a cost-effective alternative without compromising surgical quality. His work has been instrumental in guiding surgeons and hospitals in selecting robotic platforms, particularly for benign hysterectomy procedures. Dr. McCarus’s contributions extend beyond clinical outcomes to include economic analyses that challenge the assumption that all robotic systems are prohibitively expensive. His research has shaped practice patterns and informed policy decisions in gynecologic surgery. With a career dedicated to innovation and evidence-based practice, Dr. McCarus remains a trusted voice in the ongoing evolution of minimally invasive surgery.
