About
Deslyn Hobson is a gynecologic surgeon and clinical researcher whose work sits at the intersection of pelvic reconstructive surgery, surgical outcomes, and healthcare equity. Her research addresses some of the most pressing questions in minimally invasive gynecology, including how to optimize surgical approaches for pelvic organ prolapse and how systemic disparities shape patient access and outcomes in gynecologic care. Among her most-cited contributions is a multicenter retrospective cohort study comparing minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy with vaginal uterosacral ligament suspension — two of the most commonly performed procedures for apical pelvic floor repair — providing clinicians with valuable comparative outcome data to guide surgical decision-making. Her systematic review on healthcare disparities in hysterectomy for benign indications has garnered significant attention, shedding light on how race, socioeconomic status, and other markers of inequity influence surgical access and results. She has also advanced the field through her evaluation of enabling technologies for vaginal surgery, helping define evidence-based standards for emerging tools. With nearly 20 citations across her leading publications, Hobson's work reflects a commitment to improving surgical practice and advancing equity in women's health — making her a meaningful voice in contemporary gynecologic research.
