About

Dr. O. Muldoon is a surgical researcher whose work centers on optimizing perioperative care and surgical team dynamics in gynecologic surgery. Her key research areas include robotic surgical outcomes, narcotic utilization patterns, and the impact of surgical assist models on patient recovery. Dr. Muldoon’s most notable contribution is her comparative analysis of robotic surgery outcomes when using an employed surgical assist versus a second surgeon, a study that has garnered 5 citations and sparked discussion on cost-effective, high-quality surgical team configurations. She also conducted a seminal investigation into narcotic use patterns following hysterectomy for benign indications, revealing opportunities to reduce opioid prescriptions without compromising pain management—a finding cited 4 times and relevant to the national push against opioid overuse. Her work directly informs clinical protocols and surgical staffing decisions, making her a practical voice in evidence-based surgical practice. Dr. Muldoon’s research is particularly valuable for trainees and clinicians seeking to balance efficiency, safety, and patient-centered care in minimally invasive gynecology.
