About
Megan Wasson is a gynecologic surgeon and clinical researcher whose work sits at the intersection of minimally invasive surgery, endometriosis management, and surgical outcomes optimization. She is perhaps best known for leading the LAROSE trial — a multicenter, randomized controlled study comparing laparoscopic and robotic approaches to endometriosis surgery — which has accumulated 132 citations and stands as one of the field's most rigorous head-to-head evaluations of these techniques. Her research portfolio reflects a sophisticated understanding of both operative and perioperative concerns, including postoperative urinary retention following minimally invasive hysterectomy, nerve-sparing gynecologic techniques, and strategies for reducing healthcare costs through surgical efficiency. Wasson has also examined patient-centered outcomes, notably surgical decision regret among women pursuing treatment for endometriosis and chronic pelvic pain, bringing an important humanistic dimension to her work. Her interest in complex endometriosis is evident in studies on abdominal wall endometrioma resection using robotic assistance and intraoperative ultrasound guidance. Additional work addressing opioid prescribing legislation further demonstrates her commitment to responsible, evidence-based surgical practice across diverse policy contexts.
