About
Sherif A. El‐Nashar is a leading figure in urogynecology and minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, with a research portfolio that bridges surgical innovation, health policy, and patient safety. He is best known for advancing laparoscopic cervicoisthmic cerclage (LCC), a technique for preventing preterm birth in women with cervical insufficiency; his seminal 2012 systematic review of LCC remains a cornerstone reference in the field. Beyond reproductive surgery, Dr. El‐Nashar has made significant contributions to understanding the economics of hysterectomy, demonstrating through a 2017 cross-sectional study that procedural costs vary substantially across U.S. geographic regions. His work on opportunistic salpingectomy during pelvic organ prolapse repair (2018) has informed practice patterns among reconstructive surgeons, while his 2024 study on opioid-sparing bundles in urogynecology—a timely response to the opioid crisis—offers a practical framework to eliminate routine postoperative narcotics. With over 50 citations across his most-cited papers, Dr. El‐Nashar’s research consistently addresses gaps in clinical decision-making, from risk prediction using the ACS NSQIP calculator to cost-effective care delivery. His blend of technical expertise and health services research makes him a vital voice in shaping modern gynecologic practice.
