About

E. Starling is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work has advanced minimally invasive approaches to pelvic surgery. Their primary research focuses on laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) surgery and novel techniques for inguinal lymphadenectomy and pelvic organ prolapse repair. Starling’s most influential contribution is the initial report on single-site video endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy (2011), which introduced a technique to reduce morbidity and improve cosmetic outcomes in laparoscopic surgery—a paper that has garnered 35 citations and sparked broader interest in LESS procedures. They further refined this approach with a simplified, knotless technique for LESS sacrocolpopexy (2012), addressing the high volume of pelvic organ prolapse surgeries performed annually in the U.S. By demonstrating step-by-step methods for complex reconstructive procedures, Starling has helped lower the barrier for adopting these advanced techniques. Their work stands out for its practical, video-based educational contributions, making intricate surgeries more accessible to trainees and practicing surgeons alike. With a career dedicated to innovation in urologic laparoscopy, Starling continues to shape the future of scarless, patient-friendly surgical care.
