About

Dr. Christine Garcia is a leading gynecologic oncologist whose research focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes for women with endometrial cancer, particularly through the lens of minimally invasive techniques. Her work has been instrumental in evaluating the safety and efficacy of robotic-assisted and laparoscopic hysterectomy, with a key contribution being the classification of postoperative complications across these approaches. In her 2016 study, she demonstrated that venous thromboembolism remains a significant risk following minimally invasive surgery, a finding that has informed perioperative care protocols. With over 90 citations across her most influential papers, Dr. Garcia’s research has shaped clinical guidelines and surgical training. Notably, her 2017 work on resident participation in minimally invasive hysterectomy addressed the critical balance between surgical education and patient outcomes, showing that teaching does not compromise safety. Through these contributions, Dr. Garcia has advanced both the science of gynecologic oncology and the training of future surgeons, making her a respected voice in the field.
