About
Dr. Kimberly Kenton is a leading expert in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery, with a primary research focus on minimally invasive surgical treatments for pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Her most impactful work includes a landmark randomized controlled trial comparing robotic and laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy, which has been cited over 259 times and provided critical evidence on the costs and clinical outcomes of these two approaches. Dr. Kenton has also made significant contributions to surgical education, particularly in assessing resident training in hysterectomy and developing robotic surgical curricula for novice surgeons. Her research extends to postural ergonomics in surgery, cosmetic outcomes of port-site scars, and the management of rare complications like vaginal cuff evisceration. With multiple studies reporting outcomes in hundreds of women undergoing minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy, Dr. Kenton’s work has shaped clinical practice and training standards. Her notable achievements include leading the ACCESS clinical trial and developing validated assessment tools for robotic surgical skills. Her research portfolio, with papers accumulating hundreds of citations, demonstrates her profound impact on both surgical technique and the training of future gynecologic surgeons.
