About

Susanne Housmans is a leading researcher in the field of gynecologic surgery, with a primary focus on minimally invasive approaches for pelvic organ prolapse and uterine fibroids. Her work critically evaluates the comparative effectiveness of laparoscopic, robotic-assisted, and open surgical techniques, aiming to optimize patient outcomes and healthcare resource allocation. Housmans’ most impactful contribution is a systematic review comparing laparoscopic versus robotic-assisted sacrocolpopexy for pelvic organ prolapse, which has garnered 65 citations and serves as a key reference for surgeons weighing the benefits of robotic technology. She has also conducted a cost analysis study on hysterectomy approaches, providing crucial insights into the economic implications of adopting robot-assisted surgery in benign gynecological disease. Additionally, her retrospective cohort study on robotic-assisted myomectomy, cited 7 times, offers a practical algorithm for selecting the best surgical method for uterine leiomyomas. Through these works, Housmans has advanced evidence-based decision-making in gynecologic surgery, helping clinicians balance technical innovation with clinical efficacy and cost-effectiveness.
