About
Dr. Jasmine Tan-Kim is a leading researcher in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery, with a primary focus on surgical ergonomics and minimally invasive techniques for pelvic organ prolapse. Her landmark review, “Ergonomics in Surgery” (2017, 231 citations), established her as a key voice in addressing work-related musculoskeletal disorders among surgeons—a critical issue affecting surgeon longevity and patient safety. She has since advanced this field with targeted work on ergonomics in gynecologic surgery (2018, 38 citations), highlighting unique risks and solutions for the specialty. Dr. Tan-Kim’s contributions to sacrocolpopexy are equally impactful. Her comparative study of robotic-assisted versus laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (2011, 81 citations) provided essential data on operative times and costs, guiding surgical decision-making. She has also conducted randomized trials comparing vaginal mesh attachment techniques (2014, 57 citations) and anchor versus suture methods (2020, 11 citations), directly improving surgical outcomes and reducing complications. Her structured fellow training pathway for robotic-assisted sacrocolpopexy (2021, 5 citations) reflects her commitment to surgical education and standardization. With over 400 total citations across her work, Dr. Tan-Kim’s research continues to shape safer, more effective surgical practices and inspire the next generation of pelvic surgeons.
