Megan S. Orlando

About

Dr. Megan S. Orlando is a leading researcher in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, with a focus on myomectomy outcomes, surgical education, and operative efficiency. Her work has significantly advanced understanding of fertility preservation and surgical training. Her 2020 systematic review on non-hysteroscopic myomectomy and fertility outcomes (30 citations) provides critical evidence for clinicians counseling patients on fibroid treatment. Dr. Orlando has also pioneered research in surgical skills transfer, with two randomized controlled trials (2016, 2017; 53 combined citations) demonstrating that laparoscopic and robotic skills are both retainable and transferable in simulation settings—findings that have shaped modern surgical curricula. Additionally, her development of a preoperative calculator for total operative time in robotic-assisted laparoscopic myomectomy (2019, 16 citations) offers a practical tool for surgical planning. Through these contributions, Dr. Orlando has bridged the gap between surgical innovation and evidence-based practice, impacting both patient outcomes and the training of future surgeons.
