About
Dina Bastawros is a pelvic floor surgeon and clinical researcher whose work centers on the surgical management of pelvic organ prolapse, with a particular focus on apical suspension procedures. Her research addresses one of the most clinically significant questions in urogynecology: how minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy (MISC) compares to vaginal uterosacral ligament suspension (vUSLS) in achieving durable anatomic outcomes for women with prolapse. Her most impactful contribution, a multicenter retrospective cohort study conducted through the Fellows' Pelvic Research Network, has garnered 7 citations since its 2022 publication. This collaborative work reflects her commitment to large-scale, practice-relevant comparative effectiveness research — the kind that directly informs surgical decision-making. An earlier iteration of this research, presented in 2018, laid the groundwork for the more comprehensive multicenter analysis, demonstrating her dedication to rigorously developing and refining her scientific questions over time. By working within a fellows' research network, Bastawros also contributes to the training and mentorship of the next generation of urogynecologists. Her growing body of work positions her as an emerging voice in evidence-based surgical care for pelvic floor disorders.
