About

Kelly L. Kantartzis is a clinician-researcher whose work centers on urogynecology, pelvic floor reconstruction, and minimally invasive gynecologic surgery. Her research has made meaningful contributions to understanding the safety, outcomes, and economics of procedures such as sacral colpopexy and hysterectomy, particularly within laparoscopic and robotic surgical frameworks. Among her most influential contributions, Kantartzis has investigated how patient age affects complication rates in minimally invasive sacral colpopexy, a study that has garnered 38 citations and offers valuable guidance for surgical decision-making in older women. Equally impactful is her work identifying predictors of postoperative acute urinary retention following these procedures, accumulating 32 citations and informing perioperative care protocols. Her research extends beyond clinical outcomes into the financial dimensions of surgery: her cost analysis of minimally invasive hysterectomy — examining how traditionally open surgeons adapt to laparoscopic and robotic approaches — has attracted 17 citations, addressing a pressing concern in value-based healthcare. Kantartzis has also contributed to understanding the institutional adoption of robotic sacrocolpopexy and the influence of individual surgeon volume on hysterectomy costs, rounding out a body of work that bridges clinical excellence with health systems thinking. Her research remains an essential reference for practitioners training in urogynecology and minimally invasive surgery.
