About

Britton Crigler is a gynecologic surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive treatments for pelvic floor disorders, particularly pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Her most cited research, a 2012 study on total laparoscopic hysterectomy combined with uterosacral ligament suspension, addresses a critical clinical challenge: POP affects up to 19% of women, often requiring surgical correction. While abdominal sacrocolpopexy remains the gold standard for apical POP due to lower recurrence and dyspareunia rates, Crigler’s work explores laparoscopic alternatives that aim to reduce invasiveness while maintaining efficacy. By detailing a technique that integrates hysterectomy with native-tissue suspension, she contributes to the ongoing effort to refine surgical approaches for this common condition. Though her citation count (5) reflects a focused, early-career impact, her study provides valuable data for surgeons weighing options between traditional open procedures and less invasive laparoscopic methods. Crigler’s research underscores the importance of optimizing surgical outcomes for women with POP, a field where even modest advances can significantly improve quality of life. Her work is a practical resource for clinicians seeking evidence-based guidance on laparoscopic pelvic reconstructive surgery.
