About

Catharina Forsgren is a gynecological researcher whose work centers on the functional and surgical outcomes of hysterectomy, with particular focus on pelvic floor dysfunction, sexual health, and minimally invasive surgical techniques. Her most significant contributions stem from a rigorous prospective cohort study tracking women undergoing hysterectomy for benign indications, with follow-up assessments at one, three, and five years postoperatively — a longitudinal commitment that has produced some of the most comprehensive long-term outcome data in this field. These studies, accumulating citations of 16, 14, and 5 respectively, address longstanding clinical uncertainty about whether hysterectomy improves or compromises pelvic floor and sexual function over time. Forsgren has also contributed meaningfully to surgical quality research, examining how surgeon and hospital volume influence outcomes in robot-assisted versus conventional laparoscopic hysterectomy across Sweden's national patient registry — work that carries direct implications for surgical training and healthcare organization. Additionally, her investigation into hysterectomy complications among patients with endometriosis highlights her interest in high-risk surgical subpopulations. Taken together, Forsgren's research provides both clinicians and patients with evidence-based insights into one of the most commonly performed gynecological procedures worldwide.
