About

Dr. Radhika Patnam is a pelvic reconstructive surgeon whose research centers on optimizing surgical outcomes for women with pelvic organ prolapse. Her most-cited work, a 2020 study on the "Effect of BMI on clinical outcomes following minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy," has garnered 5 citations, establishing her as a contributor to evidence-based patient selection in urogynecology. This paper demonstrates her focus on how patient-specific factors—particularly body mass index—influence recovery and complication rates after minimally invasive procedures. Dr. Patnam’s research bridges the gap between surgical technique and personalized medicine, offering clinicians practical guidance for counseling patients with higher BMI. Her work underscores a commitment to improving surgical safety and efficacy, particularly in the context of robotic and laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy. As a rising voice in female pelvic medicine, she continues to investigate modifiable risk factors that can enhance long-term surgical success.
