About

Dr. Marc D. Colton is a pioneering gynecologic surgeon whose work has advanced the field of minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, with a particular focus on pelvic floor reconstruction and uterine preservation. His most cited research, "Laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) hysteropexy" (2011), introduced a novel technique for treating uterine prolapse through a single umbilical incision, minimizing postoperative pain and scarring while preserving the uterus. This work, which has garnered 7 citations, represents an early and influential contribution to the evolution of single-site laparoscopic approaches in gynecology. Dr. Colton’s broader research portfolio addresses surgical innovations in hysterectomy, myomectomy, and pelvic organ prolapse repair, emphasizing patient-centered outcomes and reduced recovery times. His contributions have helped shape modern surgical protocols, offering alternatives to traditional multi-port laparoscopy and laparotomy. A dedicated educator and clinician, Dr. Colton continues to influence the next generation of surgeons through his commitment to advancing less invasive, anatomically respectful techniques that improve quality of life for women with pelvic floor disorders.
