About

Dr. Shirley Shue is a leading voice in gynecologic surgery, with a focused expertise in uterine fibroid management and reproductive outcomes. Her research centers on optimizing surgical techniques for myomectomy—the removal of fibroids while preserving the uterus—and understanding how these procedures impact long-term fertility. Dr. Shue’s most influential work, "Hemostatic Techniques for Myomectomy: An Evidence-Based Approach" (2016, 67 citations), provides a critical framework for reducing blood loss during surgery, directly improving patient safety and surgical precision. She further advanced the field with her 2018 study comparing long-term fertility outcomes after myomectomy, demonstrating that the number of fibroids removed significantly influences future pregnancy success. This work, cited 24 times, has helped shape clinical counseling for women with symptomatic fibroids who desire future fertility. By bridging surgical innovation with reproductive medicine, Dr. Shue’s contributions have empowered surgeons with evidence-based protocols and given patients clearer expectations for their reproductive health after surgery. Her research continues to inform best practices in minimally invasive gynecology, making her a respected authority in the intersection of surgical technique and fertility preservation.
