About

Dr. Thomas Buekers is a leading gynecologic oncologist and researcher whose work has significantly advanced the safety and efficacy of minimally invasive surgery for women with pelvic cancers. His research focuses on the surgical management of gynecologic malignancies, with a particular emphasis on robotic-assisted procedures and their associated complications. Dr. Buekers is perhaps best known for his seminal 2018 study, "Rate of Urologic Injury with Robotic Hysterectomy," which has garnered 30 citations and remains a critical reference for surgeons seeking to understand and mitigate the risks of ureteral and bladder injuries during robotic surgery. This work has directly informed clinical guidelines and training protocols, helping to reduce patient morbidity. Beyond this landmark paper, his broader contributions include optimizing surgical techniques for complex cases and improving perioperative outcomes. Dr. Buekers’ research has had a tangible impact on the field, shaping how surgeons approach high-risk procedures and ultimately enhancing patient safety in gynecologic oncology.
