About
Dr. Monique H. Vaughan is a leading researcher in the fields of urogynecology and pelvic reconstructive surgery, with a focused interest in minimally invasive surgical techniques and the prevention of gynecologic cancers. Her most impactful work centers on robotic-assisted sacrocolpopexy (RSC), where she has demonstrated that this approach yields comparable surgical outcomes to traditional abdominal procedures while significantly reducing perioperative morbidity. Her 2018 study on early postoperative outcomes after surgical reduction of enlarged genital hiatus, cited 37 times, provides critical evidence for optimizing surgical management of pelvic organ prolapse. Dr. Vaughan has also made notable contributions to gynecologic oncology, particularly through her work on serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma (STIC), a precursor lesion for high-grade pelvic serous carcinoma. Her 2015 case report highlighted the incidental discovery of STIC during prophylactic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, underscoring the importance of risk-reducing surgery in BRCA-positive women. With a citation count exceeding 50 across her key publications, Dr. Vaughan’s research bridges surgical innovation and cancer prevention, offering practical insights for clinicians and advancing patient care in complex pelvic disorders.
