About
Elena Pereira is a gynecologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on optimizing surgical care for women with gynecologic cancers and pelvic floor disorders. Her research bridges clinical practice patterns and patient-centered outcomes, with a particular focus on endometrial cancer and pelvic organ prolapse. Her most cited work, a 2015 survey of practice patterns in early-stage endometrial cancer treatment (12 citations), provides critical insights into real-world clinical decision-making. Pereira has also explored patient preferences in prolapse surgery, investigating how factors like incision type and cosmetic appearance influence treatment choices—a study that underscores her commitment to incorporating patient perspectives into surgical planning. More recently, she has examined sentinel lymph node biopsy in endometrial cancer patients with obesity, addressing a high-risk population where surgical management remains challenging. Though her citation counts are modest, Pereira’s contributions are notable for their practical relevance: she asks questions that directly impact how surgeons counsel patients and tailor procedures. Her work reflects a dedication to evidence-based, patient-centered gynecologic surgery, making her a valuable voice in the ongoing effort to refine surgical approaches for women’s health.
