About

Dr. Susana Mustafa-Mikhail is a pioneer in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, with a focused expertise in robotic-assisted pelvic organ prolapse (POP) repair. Her major contributions center on advancing single-port robotic techniques for sacrocolpopexy and sacrocervicopexy, procedures that restore pelvic anatomy with reduced surgical trauma. Her seminal work, "Single Port Robotic Assisted Sacrocolpopexy: Our Experience With the First 25 Cases" (2017, 43 citations), provides critical insights into the learning curve and technical "tips and tricks" for this innovative approach, demonstrating that effective repair is achievable through a single umbilical incision. Dr. Mustafa-Mikhail further validated this method by establishing a learning curve and comparing short-term outcomes against multi-port robotics (2019, 7 citations). She also explored the functional impact of POP surgery, notably investigating its effect on vaginal sensation (2016, 8 citations), a patient-centered outcome often overlooked. Her cumulative work has helped shift the paradigm toward even less invasive robotic surgery, making her a leading voice in the field and a valuable resource for surgeons seeking to adopt these advanced techniques.
