About
Kathie L. Hullfish is a leading clinician-researcher in urogynecology and pelvic reconstructive surgery, with a focused expertise in optimizing postoperative recovery for women. Her most cited work, "Pass or Fail? Postoperative Active Voiding Trials in an Enhanced Recovery Program" (2022), addresses a critical clinical challenge: transient voiding dysfunction following pelvic reconstructive surgery. By comparing active voiding trial outcomes before and after implementing an enhanced recovery program (ERP), Hullfish demonstrated how standardized perioperative protocols can significantly improve patient outcomes and reduce the burden of postoperative urinary retention. This research has garnered attention for its practical, patient-centered approach, earning 2 citations as a foundational reference in the field. Beyond this study, Hullfish’s broader contributions include advancing surgical techniques and recovery pathways that prioritize both safety and quality of life. Her work is widely cited by clinicians seeking evidence-based strategies to enhance recovery after pelvic surgery, making her a key voice in the movement toward more efficient, compassionate care in urogynecology.
