About
Emily Von Bargen is a pelvic reconstructive surgeon and researcher whose work centers on improving surgical outcomes for women with pelvic organ prolapse. Her key research areas include minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, apical suspension techniques, and comparative effectiveness in urogynecology. Her most notable contribution is leading the landmark multicenter study through the Fellows' Pelvic Research Network, "Comparing Minimally Invasive Sacrocolpopexy With Vaginal Uterosacral Ligament Suspension," which directly compared one-year anatomic outcomes of two widely performed procedures—minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy (MISC) and vaginal uterosacral ligament suspension (vUSLS). This work, cited 7 times, provides critical evidence for surgeons deciding between these approaches, addressing a long-standing gap in comparative data. Dr. Von Bargen’s research is distinguished by its rigorous multicenter design and focus on real-world surgical decision-making. Her contributions help guide clinical practice, offering clarity on the trade-offs between these common apical suspension techniques. For students and researchers, her work exemplifies how collaborative network studies can generate actionable insights that directly impact patient care in pelvic reconstructive surgery.
