About
Dr. Maggie S. J. McCarter is a leading researcher in urogynecology and minimally invasive pelvic reconstructive surgery, with a focused expertise in optimizing perioperative care. Her most impactful work centers on advancing Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols to enable same-day discharge following complex procedures like minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy. In her landmark 2021 study, Dr. McCarter demonstrated that implementing a structured ERAS pathway significantly increases the rate of same-day discharge after robot-assisted or laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy, while rigorously confirming its safety and feasibility. This contribution, cited 8 times, directly challenges traditional postoperative admission practices, offering a paradigm shift that reduces hospital stays and healthcare costs without compromising patient outcomes. By systematically evaluating the intersection of surgical innovation and recovery optimization, Dr. McCarter has established herself as a key voice in modernizing pelvic floor surgery. Her work not only improves patient experience but also provides a reproducible framework for surgeons seeking to adopt value-based care models. For students and researchers, Dr. McCarter’s research exemplifies how evidence-based protocol refinement can transform surgical practice, making her a pivotal figure in the evolution of outpatient urogynecologic surgery.
