About
Marie Fidela R. Paraiso is a leading gynecologic surgeon and clinical researcher whose work has significantly advanced the understanding and practice of minimally invasive surgery for pelvic floor disorders. Her research focuses primarily on pelvic organ prolapse, minimally invasive hysterectomy, and the comparative effectiveness of laparoscopic and robotic surgical techniques. Paraiso is perhaps best known for her landmark 2011 randomized controlled trial comparing laparoscopic and robotic sacrocolpopexy for vaginal prolapse, which has garnered over 414 citations and remains a foundational reference in the field. Her subsequent randomized trial comparing conventional and robotic total laparoscopic hysterectomy (172 citations) further cemented her reputation as a rigorous, evidence-based investigator willing to critically evaluate emerging surgical technologies rather than simply championing them. Her body of work spans critical topics including perioperative adverse events, long-term prolapse recurrence, mesh exposure outcomes, and mesh configuration optimization in sacrocolpopexy. She has also contributed meaningfully to understanding rectal prolapse repair through ventral rectopexy. Collectively, her publications reflect a career dedicated to improving surgical precision, patient safety, and long-term outcomes for women undergoing pelvic reconstructive procedures, making her an essential voice in urogynecology and minimally invasive gynecologic surgery.
