About
Sophie G. Fletcher is a leading figure in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery, with a focused expertise on the complications of synthetic mesh in pelvic organ prolapse (POP) repair. Her seminal work, "Complex Rectovaginal Fistulas After Pelvic Organ Prolapse Repair With Synthetic Mesh," published in 2012, remains a cornerstone reference in the field, cited over 23 times for its critical documentation of rare but severe mesh-related complications. Through this single-institution series, Dr. Fletcher provided the first detailed characterization of rectovaginal fistulas (RVFs) arising from mesh erosion, establishing essential diagnostic criteria and management strategies that have shaped clinical guidelines. Her research has been instrumental in advancing patient safety, driving the conversation around mesh use, and informing surgical decision-making to prevent devastating outcomes. Dr. Fletcher’s contributions continue to influence urogynecology practice, making her a respected authority on complex pelvic floor disorders and a vital voice in the ongoing evaluation of surgical materials.
