About
Heidi E. Frasure is a gynecologic surgeon and clinical researcher whose work has significantly advanced minimally invasive surgical approaches for gynecological cancers and complex pelvic conditions. Her research focuses primarily on endometrial cancer management, robotic-assisted surgery, and laparoscopic techniques, with a particular emphasis on optimizing patient outcomes while reducing surgical morbidity. Frasure's most influential contributions center on comparative surgical studies that have helped define best practices across surgical platforms. Her 2012 multi-site investigation of minimally invasive surgery versus laparotomy in high-grade endometrial cancer patients, conducted at high-volume cancer centers, has garnered 109 citations and remains a key reference in the field. Alongside this, her comparative analyses of single-port laparoscopy, standard laparoscopy, and robotic surgery for endometrial cancer — accumulating over 80 additional citations — have provided clinicians with critical evidence for surgical decision-making. Beyond cancer surgery, Frasure has investigated robotic-assisted sacrocolpopexy, exploring how resident training impacts surgical outcomes, and examined the safety of robotic approaches for severe endometriosis. Her broader work extends into stereotactic radiotherapy for recurrent gynecological malignancies, reflecting a commitment to comprehensive, multidisciplinary cancer care. Her research collectively supports safer, less invasive treatment pathways for women facing complex gynecological conditions.
