About

Dr. Laura Ramirez-Caban is a gynecologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes, particularly through the lens of enhanced recovery and minimally invasive techniques. Her key research areas include laparoscopic hysterectomy, postoperative care pathways, and the factors influencing hospital length of stay. She is best known for her seminal study, "Factors that Lengthen Patient Hospitalizations Following Laparoscopic Hysterectomy" (2020, 4 citations), which provided critical descriptive observations on prolonged hospitalization before the implementation of a department-wide Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol. This retrospective cohort study across three academic hospitals laid essential groundwork for improving perioperative care and reducing unnecessary inpatient days. By identifying specific clinical and demographic variables that contribute to extended stays, Dr. Ramirez-Caban’s work directly informs quality improvement initiatives in gynecologic surgery. Her research underscores a commitment to evidence-based practice and patient-centered recovery, making her a valuable contributor to the ongoing evolution of minimally invasive gynecologic care.
