About
Dr. Steven E. Schraffordt Koops is a pioneering surgeon whose research has fundamentally advanced the field of robotic-assisted pelvic floor reconstruction. His work centers on the surgical management of multicompartment pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and complex pelvic floor disorders, with a particular focus on improving functional and sexual outcomes for patients. Dr. Schraffordt Koops is best known for developing and validating the robot-assisted sacrocolporectopexy technique, a combined procedure that simultaneously corrects both vaginal vault prolapse and rectal prolapse. His landmark 2016 study on this technique (41 citations) was among the first to prospectively evaluate its functional and sexual outcomes. He has also produced critical, long-term data on mesh safety, including a 2019 study (31 citations) that provided the longest follow-up on abdominal mesh erosion rates, directly informing international surgical guidelines. With over 190 total citations, his work has established the learning curve for robotic pelvic surgery (36 citations) and demonstrated that robotic approaches can preserve or improve sexual function (22 citations). Dr. Schraffordt Koops’ research is essential reading for any surgeon or researcher seeking evidence-based, patient-centered approaches to pelvic floor reconstruction.
