About
Ritchie Delara is a gynecologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive gynecologic surgery (MIGS), with a particular focus on improving patient outcomes, reducing costs, and optimizing postoperative care. Her major contributions include identifying predictors of postoperative urinary retention after outpatient minimally invasive hysterectomy—a study that has garnered 32 citations and informs clinical protocols to prevent complications. She has also pioneered techniques such as robotic excision of full-thickness diaphragmatic endometriosis and temporary oophoropexy and uteropexy, expanding surgical options for complex cases. Delara’s research on cost-effective MIGS, emphasizing surgical efficiency, addresses the critical need to reduce healthcare expenditures without compromising quality. Additionally, her prospective randomized controlled trial on shared decision-making in opioid prescribing for minimally invasive hysterectomy demonstrates her commitment to patient-centered care and combating the opioid crisis. With a portfolio that blends surgical innovation, cost-consciousness, and patient safety, Delara’s work is shaping the future of gynecologic surgery, making her a valuable resource for trainees and colleagues seeking evidence-based, efficient, and compassionate surgical practices.
