About
Todd Foster is a gynecologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for complex gynecologic conditions, particularly in high-risk patient populations. His key research areas include robotic-assisted surgery, surgical staging in endometrial cancer, and cervical cerclage procedures for pregnancy preservation. Foster’s most impactful work, “Can Teamwork and High-Volume Experience Overcome Challenges of Lymphadenectomy in Morbidly Obese Patients... with Endometrial Cancer?” (23 citations), demonstrates that robotic surgery can achieve adequate lymphadenectomy in patients with BMI ≥40 kg/m², challenging traditional reliance on laparotomy. This study has influenced surgical decision-making for obese patients, a growing demographic in gynecologic oncology. He also pioneered the robotic-assisted transabdominal cerclage (RoboTAC) technique in non-pregnant (17 citations) and pregnant patients (12 citations), offering a less morbid alternative to traditional abdominal cerclage for cervical insufficiency. Foster’s contributions have expanded the role of robotics in gynecology, improving outcomes for patients with challenging anatomy or comorbidities. His work is notable for combining technical innovation with rigorous outcomes analysis, earning recognition among peers for advancing surgical safety and efficacy.
