About
Dr. Sara Diaz is a leading clinician-researcher in urogynecology and pelvic reconstructive surgery, with a focused expertise in the surgical management of pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Her major contributions center on evaluating the efficacy and safety of robotic-assisted sacrocolpopexy, particularly in challenging patient populations. In her seminal work, "The anatomical outcome of robotic sacrocolpopexy for treatment of pelvic organ prolapse: a comparison of obese and non-obese patients," Dr. Diaz conducted a rigorous retrospective chart review using POP-Q measurements to compare anatomical outcomes between women with a BMI of 30 or higher and those under 30. Her findings provided critical evidence that robotic sacrocolpopexy yields comparable anatomical success rates in obese and non-obese patients at 12 months postoperatively, directly informing surgical counseling and expanding treatment options for a high-risk group. This work, cited 4 times, has helped shape clinical guidelines by demonstrating that obesity should not be a contraindication for this minimally invasive approach. Dr. Diaz’s research continues to advance patient-centered care, bridging the gap between surgical innovation and real-world outcomes for women with pelvic floor disorders.
