Rosanne Marie Kho MD

Dr. Kho's clinical and academic work has focused on advancing vaginal and minimally invasive surgery. She was involved in the early adoption of robotics in gynecology during her fellowship training that has lead to multiple publications evaluating the appropriate application of the technology in the field. She is a strong advocate of the vaginal approach for benign hysterectomy and is recognized for her passion to bring vaginal surgery back into the armamentarium of the gynecologic surgeon. In recognition of her expertise in vaginal surgery, she was the Donald Richardson Memorial Lecture Speaker for ACOG ACM in April 2014.

Recently, she developed an online module on the essentials of vaginal hysterectomy in collaboration with AAGL, ACOG, and SGS. In addition to speaking on these topics, she has participated in live surgeries nationally and internationally demonstrating the applications of robotics and vaginal surgery in gynecology. Dr. Kho is published in the field of gynecologic surgery having authored many peer-reviewed articles and book chapters. She serves as a Senior Editor for the Journal of Minimally Invasive Gynecology.

She served as President of the AAGL/SRS Fellowship Board in MIGS in 2015 where she led the efforts to revamp and standardize the requirements and goals of Fellowship training. She has also spearheaded the process of seeking Focused-Practice recognition from ABOG for Advanced Benign Surgery in Gynecology. These efforts are intended to ultimately elevate the training and quality of surgical care for women with benign conditions.
