About

David L. Howard is a gynecologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly in hysterectomy and vaginal surgery. His research spans three interconnected areas: enabling technologies for vaginal surgery, patient education on uterine fibroids and surgical options, and optimizing robotic-assisted surgical team dynamics. Howard’s most-cited papers, each garnering 5 citations, include a systematic review of technologies facilitating vaginal procedures, a cross-sectional survey revealing gaps in patient understanding of uterine fibroids and hysterectomy approaches, and a comparative study on robotic surgical assists versus second surgeons. He also introduced the McCarus-Volker ForniSee®, a novel trans-illuminating colpotomy device and uterine manipulator for laparoscopic hysterectomy. Through his work, Howard demonstrates a commitment to both technological innovation and patient-centered care, addressing critical gaps in surgical efficiency, patient comprehension, and team-based robotic surgery. His contributions are shaping how gynecologic surgeons approach complex procedures while ensuring patients are better informed about their treatment options.
