About

Dr. Thanh H. Dellinger is a pioneering gynecologic oncologist and robotic surgeon whose work bridges the critical gap between surgical innovation and provider well-being. Her research centers on three key areas: minimally invasive robotic surgery for complex pelvic malignancies, comprehensive surgical staging of rare uterine cancers, and the often-overlooked domain of surgeon ergonomics. Dr. Dellinger’s most impactful contribution is her landmark prospective study, "Who is hurting? A prospective study of surgeon ergonomics" (2021, 14 citations), which systematically documented the physical toll of surgical practice—a topic rarely quantified in the literature. This work has catalyzed a growing conversation about occupational health in surgery. She has also advanced the field by demonstrating the feasibility of a multiquadrant robotic platform for comprehensive staging of uterine carcinosarcoma (2016, 3 citations) and by exploring robotic approaches for peritoneal carcinomatosis (2025, 2 citations). Her clinical expertise extends to complex reconstructive procedures, such as prolapse repair after anterior exenteration (2020, 2 citations). Through her dual focus on technical innovation and surgeon wellness, Dr. Dellinger is reshaping how we think about both the patient and the practitioner in modern surgical oncology.
