About
Jean Paul Tanner is a gynecologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes for older women, particularly those undergoing pelvic floor repair. His most-cited study, “Adnexal surgery at the time of hysterectomy in women 65 years and older undergoing hysterectomy for prolapse: do practice trends differ by route of surgery?” (2021, 6 citations), examines how surgical approach—vaginal, laparoscopic, or abdominal—influences decisions about concurrent adnexal removal in this vulnerable population. This work addresses a critical gap in geriatric gynecology, where age-related comorbidities and limited data on prophylactic oophorectomy complicate surgical planning. By highlighting practice variations and their implications, Tanner’s research helps clinicians balance the risks of additional surgery against the potential benefits of reducing future ovarian pathology. His contributions are particularly valuable as the population ages and demand for pelvic reconstructive surgery grows. Though early in his career, Tanner’s focused investigation into evidence-based, age-appropriate surgical care positions him as a thoughtful voice in women’s health, encouraging more nuanced, patient-centered decision-making for older surgical candidates.
