About
Laurie B. Landeen is a leading researcher in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, with a primary focus on optimizing hysterectomy outcomes and surgical techniques. Her work provides critical evidence comparing the clinical effectiveness and economic implications of abdominal, laparoscopic, vaginal, and robot-assisted hysterectomy approaches. In her landmark 2011 study, cited over 60 times, Landeen conducted a retrospective chart review of 1,474 consecutive hysterectomy patients, offering one of the most comprehensive cost and outcome comparisons for benign indications. This research has guided surgeons and hospitals in selecting the most appropriate and cost-effective surgical method. Landeen further advanced the field with her 2016 randomized trial on vaginal cuff closure methods, specifically examining robotic techniques to reduce the risk of vaginal cuff dehiscence—a serious postoperative complication. This work, cited 24 times, directly impacts surgical safety and patient recovery. Through her rigorous comparative effectiveness research and focus on surgical innovation, Landeen has made lasting contributions to evidence-based gynecologic surgery, helping to shape modern practice standards and improve patient care.
