About
Dr. Megan Loring is a leading voice in gynecologic surgery, with her research squarely focused on advancing minimally invasive techniques to improve patient outcomes. Her most-cited work, "Minimally Invasive Specialists and Rates of Laparoscopic Hysterectomy" (2015, 45 citations), is a landmark study that directly addressed the slow national adoption of laparoscopic hysterectomy for benign conditions. By investigating the impact of a dedicated department for minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, Dr. Loring provided critical evidence that specialized training and departmental structure can dramatically increase the use of less invasive procedures. This contribution has helped shape clinical practice and hospital policy, demonstrating that the presence of specialists is a key driver for improving surgical quality and reducing patient morbidity. Her work serves as a powerful call for institutional change, highlighting how targeted expertise can overcome systemic inertia in healthcare. Dr. Loring’s research continues to influence how gynecologic surgery is taught and delivered, making her a pivotal figure in the movement toward safer, more effective surgical care.
