About
Tanaka Dune is a leading voice in the intersection of patient education and minimally invasive gynecologic surgery. Her research primarily focuses on pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and the evolving role of robotic surgery in its treatment. In her highly cited 2018 study, “Patients’ Knowledge of and Attitude Toward Robotic Surgery for Pelvic Organ Prolapse,” Dune critically examined how media exposure and marketing shape patient preferences for robotic sacrocolpopexy. This work, which has garnered 19 citations, revealed a significant gap between patient enthusiasm for robotic technology and their actual understanding of the procedure’s risks and benefits. By highlighting this disconnect, Dune’s research has become foundational for improving preoperative counseling and informed consent in urogynecology. Her contributions underscore a commitment to patient-centered care, ensuring that surgical innovation is matched by clear, evidence-based communication. As a researcher, Dune continues to bridge the gap between advanced surgical techniques and the patients they serve, making her a vital voice in modern gynecologic surgery.
