About
Roy Lauterbach is a pioneering gynecologic surgeon whose research has substantially advanced the field of minimally invasive and robotic surgery. His work centers on robotic-assisted gynecologic procedures, with particular emphasis on single-port techniques, pelvic organ prolapse repair, and natural orifice surgery. Lauterbach has been instrumental in establishing and refining single-port robotic sacrocolpopexy, sharing critical technical insights through his early clinical series of 25 cases and contributing one of the first systematic comparisons between single-port and multi-port robotic approaches — work that has collectively garnered over 80 citations. His 2018 systematic review of robotic laparoendoscopic single-site surgery in gynecology and his comprehensive 2017 review positioning robotic surgery as the future of the field have become important reference points for clinicians and trainees alike, amassing over 80 combined citations. Beyond surgical technique, Lauterbach has explored physiological patient safety considerations during robotic procedures and contributed to surgical education through randomized training trials. His investigation into geographic variation in hysterectomy rates also reflects a commitment to healthcare equity and policy. Across his body of work, Lauterbach emerges as both a technical innovator and a thoughtful contributor to evidence-based gynecologic practice.
