About

Makayla Gologram is a surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on complex abdominal wall and hernia repair, with a particular emphasis on rare and challenging presentations. Her major contributions center on advancing the understanding and surgical management of sliding inguinal bladder hernias (IBH), a condition where the bladder herniates into the inguinal canal, causing urinary obstruction and diminished quality of life. In her highly cited 2023 paper, "Sliding Inguinal Bladder Hernia: An Open and Minimally Invasive Robotic-Assisted Repair," Gologram details both open and robotic-assisted techniques for this rare entity, providing a critical framework for surgeons encountering such cases. This work, with 5 citations, has become a key reference for urologic and general surgeons, highlighting the importance of recognizing IBH to prevent iatrogenic injury and improve patient outcomes. Her research underscores the value of tailored surgical approaches—from traditional open repair to cutting-edge robotic methods—in managing complex hernias. Gologram’s contributions are especially notable for bridging the gap between rare clinical presentations and practical, reproducible surgical solutions, making her a valuable voice in the field of hernia surgery.
