About
Miriam J. Haviland is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of surgical communication and gynecologic outcomes. Her primary research areas include patient-centered consent processes and comparative effectiveness in pelvic floor surgery. Haviland’s most notable contribution is a 2019 randomized controlled trial examining the effect of visual aids during surgical consents on patient understanding and satisfaction—a study that has garnered 6 citations and highlights her commitment to improving the preoperative experience. She also co-authored a 2018 investigation comparing minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy versus vaginal uterosacral ligament suspension, focusing on anatomic outcomes at one year. This work, with 2 citations, contributes valuable evidence to the ongoing debate over optimal surgical approaches for pelvic organ prolapse. Haviland’s research demonstrates a dual focus: enhancing patient comprehension through innovative consent tools and rigorously evaluating surgical techniques to inform clinical practice. Her work is particularly relevant for students and clinicians interested in shared decision-making, patient education, and evidence-based gynecologic surgery.
