About
Dr. Connie Ryjewski is a vascular surgeon whose clinical and research focus centers on the diagnosis and management of complex pelvic venous disorders, particularly nutcracker syndrome and pelvic congestion syndrome. Her most impactful work, a 2021 paper describing a simplified surgical approach for left ovarian vein transposition, has garnered 6 citations and represents a significant contribution to the field. Recognizing that traditional surgical treatments for nutcracker syndrome—such as renal vein transposition or stenting—are often major, invasive procedures, Dr. Ryjewski developed and refined a less morbid technique that targets the ovarian vein directly. This innovation offers patients a potentially safer, more targeted surgical option for alleviating the debilitating chronic pelvic pain associated with this increasingly recognized condition. By focusing on procedural refinement and patient-centered outcomes, Dr. Ryjewski is helping to advance the standard of care for a challenging patient population, bridging the gap between interventional radiology and open surgery in the management of venous compressive syndromes.
