About
Beri Ridgeway is a leading gynecologic surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of minimally invasive surgery, pelvic organ prolapse repair, and hysterectomy techniques. With a body of research that has accumulated hundreds of citations, Ridgeway has made substantial contributions to understanding how robotic and laparoscopic approaches compare to conventional surgical methods. Her landmark 2013 randomized trial comparing conventional and robotically assisted total laparoscopic hysterectomy has garnered 172 citations, establishing her as a key voice in evaluating emerging surgical technologies. Ridgeway has also advanced knowledge of pelvic organ prolapse management, examining long-term outcomes of uterosacral and sacral colpopexy procedures, perioperative risks of minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy, and the viability of uterine-sparing approaches. Her decision analysis on intraoperative cystoscopy during hysterectomy reflects a commitment to value-driven, evidence-based care — a theme reinforced by her work on achieving high value in surgical hysterectomy approaches. By investigating risk factors for surgical conversions and exploring innovations in minimally invasive techniques, Ridgeway continues to shape best practices in gynecologic surgery, offering clinicians and patients alike a clearer picture of safety, efficacy, and long-term success.
