About
Stephanie Glass Clark is a clinician-researcher specializing in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery, with a focused expertise in minimally invasive surgical techniques for pelvic organ prolapse and urinary incontinence. Her work has made meaningful contributions to the evolving landscape of robotic-assisted gynecologic surgery, particularly sacrocolpopexy — a procedure used to correct vaginal vault prolapse. Clark has been at the forefront of evaluating emerging robotic platforms, comparing their clinical performance, operative efficiency, and cost-effectiveness against conventional laparoscopic and established robotic approaches. Her 2022 cluster of publications, which together have accumulated over 30 citations, reflects a rigorous interrogation of how surgical technology translates into real-world patient outcomes and institutional value. Notably, her anatomical study of sacral mesh attachment during sacrocolpopexy provided reassuring evidence that variation in mesh fixation level does not increase prolapse recurrence risk — a clinically impactful finding for surgical practice. Her comparative work on robotic Burch urethropexy versus midurethral sling further broadens her contributions to stress urinary incontinence management. Clark's research serves as an important resource for surgeons navigating an increasingly technology-driven surgical environment.
