About

Kristin M. Jacobs is a leading expert in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery, with a specialized focus on minimally invasive approaches to pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and gender-affirming surgery. Her landmark study, “Outcomes in 450 Women After Minimally Invasive Abdominal Sacrocolpopexy for Pelvic Organ Prolapse,” has been cited 48 times and provides critical, large-scale data on the safety and efficacy of minimally invasive abdominal sacrocolpopexy (ASC), establishing a benchmark for surgical outcomes in POP management. More recently, Dr. Jacobs has pioneered the integration of robotic technology into genital gender-affirming surgery, as highlighted in her 2023 scoping review on robotics in this field. This work underscores her commitment to advancing surgical precision and patient-centered care for transgender individuals, a rapidly evolving area of urology and gynecology. With a career dedicated to improving surgical techniques and expanding access to affirming care, Dr. Jacobs’ research has shaped clinical guidelines and inspired a new generation of surgeons to embrace innovation in pelvic health.
