About
Sarah Collins is a gynecologic surgeon and clinical researcher whose work sits at the intersection of minimally invasive surgery, pelvic organ prolapse repair, and surgical innovation. Her research has consistently focused on optimizing patient outcomes in complex reconstructive pelvic procedures, particularly sacrocolpopexy and hysterectomy, with a growing emphasis on robotic and single-port surgical approaches. Collins' most influential contribution, "Effect of surgical approach on physical activity and pain control after sacral colpopexy" (2012), has accumulated 28 citations and remains a key reference for understanding how operative technique influences postoperative recovery. Her longitudinal body of work traces the evolution of robotic surgery, from early methodological critiques — questioning the feasibility of randomized trials in robotic gynecology (2010) — to pioneering descriptions of single-port robotic sacrocolpopexy published in 2024, reflecting her sustained commitment to advancing the field. Notably, her 2020 study comparing pain and narcotic use in prolapse repair with and without hysterectomy addresses clinically urgent questions around opioid stewardship in surgical care. Across her career, Collins has emerged as a thoughtful advocate for evidence-based minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, bridging technical innovation with meaningful patient-centered outcomes.
