About
Mallika Anand is a specialist in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery, with a focused research program centered on robotic sacrocolpopexy and the surgical management of apical vaginal vault prolapse. Her work has made meaningful contributions to one of the most technically demanding areas of urogynecology, helping to define best practices for minimally invasive pelvic floor repair. Anand's most influential contributions examine the learning curve and perioperative safety profile of robotic sacrocolpopexy, with her two earliest papers accumulating over 75 citations combined — reflecting strong uptake by the surgical community. A particularly notable study evaluated outcomes of robotic sacrocolpopexy using exclusively absorbable sutures for mesh fixation, addressing an unresolved technical question with direct clinical implications. Alongside colleagues, she also conducted comprehensive comparative analyses of vaginal, open abdominal, and robotic approaches to vault prolapse repair, examining complication rates, costs, symptom relief, and retreatment outcomes — work that equips surgeons and patients with nuanced, evidence-based guidance for surgical decision-making. With over 170 cumulative citations across her portfolio, Anand's research offers a rigorous, clinically grounded perspective on evolving surgical techniques, making her work an essential reference for trainees and practitioners navigating the rapidly advancing field of robotic pelvic reconstructive surgery.
