About

Dr. Sevan A. Vahanian is a leading figure in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, with a focused expertise in complex pelvic reconstruction and high-risk pregnancy management. Her research addresses critical, often underreported complications and innovative surgical solutions. Notably, her work on "Delayed Small Bowel Obstruction After Robotic-Assisted Sacrocolpopexy" (15 citations) was pioneering in identifying a rare but significant complication linked to barbed sutures, directly improving post-operative safety protocols for prolapse repairs. Dr. Vahanian has also made substantial contributions to the management of Cesarean scar pregnancies, demonstrating the efficacy of a combined medical and robotic surgical approach to preserve fertility and reduce hemorrhage risk. Further expanding the boundaries of surgical intervention, she has advanced the technique of ultrasound-guided, laparoscopic-assisted abdominal cerclage during pregnancy, offering a minimally invasive option for patients with cervical insufficiency. Through these impactful studies, Dr. Vahanian has established herself as a clinician-scientist dedicated to refining surgical techniques and enhancing patient outcomes in complex reproductive and pelvic floor disorders.
