About
Dr. Sharon Jakus-Waldman is a leading figure in Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery (FPMRS), with a focused expertise in advancing robotic-assisted surgical training and outcomes. Her most notable contribution is the development of a novel, structured fellow training pathway for robotic-assisted sacrocolpopexy (RASC), a key procedure for pelvic organ prolapse. This work, published in 2021 and cited 5 times, systematically compares step-specific and total operative times between FPMRS attendings and fellows, establishing a reproducible model for safely integrating trainees into complex robotic surgery. By quantifying the learning curve and demonstrating that fellows can achieve comparable efficiency under structured guidance, Dr. Jakus-Waldman has directly addressed a critical gap in surgical education. Her research not only enhances the safety and efficacy of robotic training but also helps standardize curricula across institutions. Through this innovative pathway, she is shaping the next generation of pelvic surgeons, ensuring high-quality care while expanding access to minimally invasive procedures. Her work underscores a commitment to both rigorous outcomes research and the advancement of surgical pedagogy in women’s health.
