About

Daniel G. Winger is a urogynecologist whose research has significantly shaped the understanding of surgical trends in pelvic organ prolapse. His most impactful work, "Changes in prolapse surgery trends relative to FDA notifications regarding vaginal mesh" (2013, 80 citations), critically analyzed how regulatory warnings influenced clinical practice, demonstrating a sharp decline in vaginal mesh procedures and a corresponding rise in native tissue repairs. This study remains a cornerstone for clinicians navigating the evolving landscape of prolapse surgery. Winger also contributed to the adoption of minimally invasive techniques, as seen in his work on robotic sacrocolpopexy (RSC) at an academic institution, where he documented operative times and patient outcomes during the integration of robotic technology into a urogynecology fellowship program. His research bridges the gap between surgical innovation and real-world clinical decision-making, offering valuable insights for trainees and practitioners alike. By tracking shifts in practice patterns and evaluating new technologies, Winger has provided evidence that helps guide safer, more effective surgical care for women with pelvic floor disorders.
