About

Dr. Michele R. Hacker is a leading researcher in urogynecology and pelvic reconstructive surgery, with a focus on optimizing surgical outcomes for pelvic organ prolapse. Her work bridges clinical effectiveness, patient-centered care, and health economics. Notably, she led a cost-effectiveness analysis of surgical pathways for apical prolapse, comparing vaginal, laparoscopic, and robotic sacrocolpopexy (16 citations), providing critical data for value-based surgical decision-making. Dr. Hacker has also advanced patient communication, demonstrating through a randomized controlled trial that visual aids during surgical consent improve patient understanding and satisfaction (6 citations). Her research further evaluates surgical techniques, including a multicenter retrospective cohort study comparing minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy with vaginal uterosacral ligament suspension (7 citations), and an investigation of Trendelenburg angles across different prolapse repair approaches (8 citations). By integrating rigorous comparative effectiveness research with innovations in informed consent, Dr. Hacker’s work—garnering over 50 citations across these key studies—directly shapes clinical guidelines and enhances the quality of care for women with pelvic floor disorders.
