About
Halina M. Zyczynski is a leading urogynecologist whose research centers on optimizing surgical outcomes for women with pelvic floor disorders, particularly pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and overactive bladder. Her major contributions lie in developing and evaluating evidence-based protocols to enhance recovery and minimize complications in older surgical populations. She spearheaded the implementation of a urogynecology-specific Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathway, a highly cited work (133 citations) that has helped standardize perioperative care. Dr. Zyczynski has also critically examined the safety of same-day discharge after prolapse surgery, the impact of frailty on postoperative urinary retention, and opioid prescribing patterns in women over 60. Her work on the low incidence of sacral osteomyelitis after minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy and the favorable complication rates for women aged 70 and older undergoing this procedure provides crucial reassurance for treating an aging population. Through these studies, Dr. Zyczynski has advanced a patient-centered, safety-focused approach to pelvic reconstructive surgery, directly informing clinical guidelines and improving recovery for thousands of women.
