About
Ulrika Johannesson is a gynecological surgeon and clinical researcher whose work centers on hysterectomy outcomes, pelvic floor function, sexual health, and minimally invasive surgical techniques. Based at Swedish institutions and drawing on prospectively collected national registry data, Johannesson has made significant contributions to understanding how different surgical approaches affect women undergoing hysterectomy for benign indications. Her most influential work, cited 49 times, demonstrated that robotic hysterectomy may offer advantages for women with obesity, a population traditionally considered high-risk for surgical complications. This population-based cohort study helped inform surgical decision-making across Scandinavian practice. Johannesson has also conducted one of the few longitudinal investigations tracking pelvic floor and sexual function at one, three, and five years post-hysterectomy, providing rare long-term prospective data in a field where evidence has historically been inconsistent. Her research further examines the role of surgeon and hospital volume in robotic versus laparoscopic hysterectomy outcomes, and she has explored complications specific to patients with endometriosis. More recently, she has contributed to comparative evidence on pelvic organ prolapse repair techniques. Collectively accumulating over 100 citations, Johannesson's body of work offers clinically meaningful guidance for gynecologists navigating complex surgical decisions affecting women's quality of life.
