Courtney Cripps is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at the Pritzker School of Medicine, University of Chicago. Her clinical practice focuses on reconstructive microsurgery and gender-affirming procedures within the Department of Surgery.
Her research spans Gender-Affirming Surgery, Reconstructive Microsurgery, and Lower Extremity Reconstruction. Key interests include optimizing phalloplasty techniques, managing vascular complications in trauma reconstruction, and applying frailty metrics to predict surgical outcomes. This work addresses critical gaps in transgender healthcare and complex trauma reconstruction.
Analysis of her 2022-2025 publications reveals a strong emphasis on evidence-based protocols for gender-affirming procedures (phalloplasty, mastectomy) and lower extremity reconstruction. Articles consistently integrate microsurgical innovation with patient safety metrics, highlighting her dual focus on technical advancement and complication prevention in high-risk reconstructive scenarios.
Dr. Cripps collaborates with Lawrence Gottlieb and Maureen Beederman on gender surgery research, while departmental connections include Beederman, Geldner, and Zachary. Her work demonstrates active engagement in surgical innovation through institutional partnerships and scholarly discourse.
