About
Charelle M. Carter-Brooks is a urogynecologist and researcher whose work focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes for women with pelvic floor disorders. Her major contributions center on improving perioperative care and surgical efficiency in pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgery. She is a leading voice in the implementation of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathways specifically tailored for urogynecology, as demonstrated by her highly cited 2018 paper on the topic (133 citations). Dr. Carter-Brooks has also advanced the field by investigating strategies to reduce costs and improve outcomes in robotic-assisted sacrocolpopexy, including the impact of dedicated robotic teams and the effects of intraoperative surgical team handoffs on patient safety. Her work on same-day discharge after prolapse surgery (36 citations) has contributed to shifting practice patterns toward more patient-centered, efficient care. More recently, she has explored the role of frailty in postoperative complications, such as acute urinary retention, in older women undergoing prolapse surgery. Through her research, Dr. Carter-Brooks has provided evidence-based insights that directly enhance surgical quality, reduce healthcare burden, and improve recovery for women undergoing complex pelvic reconstructive procedures.
