About

Dr. Samar Nahas is a leading figure in gynecologic oncology and minimally invasive surgery, with a research focus on optimizing surgical outcomes and patient safety. Her work has significantly advanced the understanding of same-day discharge protocols, demonstrating through a landmark systematic review that minimally invasive hysterectomy can be safely performed on an outpatient basis in select gynecologic oncology patients—a finding cited over 60 times and now shaping clinical practice. Dr. Nahas has also pioneered patient safety research by analyzing the FDA’s MAUDE database to compare robotic surgery malfunction events across specialties, revealing critical insights into the unique risks of robotic gynecologic procedures. Her recent investigation into peritoneal endometriosis in pelvic pain patients highlights her commitment to uncovering hidden disease patterns, with early findings already garnering attention. With a career marked by rigorous evidence synthesis and a patient-centered approach, Dr. Nahas continues to influence surgical standards, reduce hospital stays, and improve quality of life for women with complex gynecologic conditions.
