About
Johanna Wagenius is a clinical researcher in gynecologic surgery, with a primary focus on optimizing surgical approaches for benign hysterectomy. Her work centers on the critical question of why vaginal hysterectomy—the safest, most cost-effective route—is being performed less frequently worldwide. In her landmark study, "Why not vaginal?—Nationwide trends and surgical outcomes in low‐risk hysterectomies," she led a retrospective cohort study using a large national register to analyze surgical techniques, outcomes, and costs among patients with prerequisites for vaginal surgery. This work has already garnered early citations, highlighting its immediate relevance to clinical practice. By demonstrating that vaginal hysterectomy remains underutilized despite superior outcomes, Wagenius provides actionable evidence to guide surgeons and policymakers toward more patient-centered, value-based care. Her research bridges the gap between surgical tradition and modern evidence, making her a rising voice in efforts to reverse declining vaginal hysterectomy rates and improve recovery for thousands of women.
