Contributions​

His cited work comes from the Vanderbilt functional urology group: mesh complication surgery, onabotulinumtoxinA outcomes, sacral neuromodulation, and textbook chapters on slings and outlet obstruction after incontinence surgery.5678

  • Obturator foramen dissection for transobturator mesh excision (2012). Led a series of 8 women with intractable groin or obturator pain after transobturator mesh in which residual mesh was found and removed through a lateral groin incision in every case, and 5 were cured of pain or infection at a mean 6 months.5 Cited on WARWIKI: Mesh Complications & Removal.
  • Urinary retention after onabotulinumtoxinA for overactive bladder (2015). Senior author of a clinical-practice review of 160 patients in which 35% developed retention after a first injection; a preoperative postvoid residual of 100 mL or more was followed by retention in 94%.6 Cited on WARWIKI: Botulinum Toxin (OAB / Storage).
