About

Dr. Sarah A. Hosgood is a leading researcher in transplant surgery and perioperative care, with a primary focus on enhancing outcomes for living kidney donors. Her work centers on optimizing recovery protocols, particularly through the implementation of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathways. In her highly cited 2021 systematic review, Dr. Hosgood synthesized evidence demonstrating that ERAS protocols significantly reduce complications and shorten hospital stays for living kidney donors, without increasing readmission or mortality rates—a critical advancement in donor safety and quality of life. This seminal paper, with 16 citations, has helped define best practices in living donor nephrectomy (LDN) and shaped clinical guidelines. Beyond this, Dr. Hosgood’s research spans ischemia-reperfusion injury, organ preservation, and novel surgical techniques, contributing to improved graft and patient survival. Her work is widely recognized for bridging evidence-based perioperative care with real-world transplant outcomes, making her a key voice in the field. For students and researchers, Dr. Hosgood exemplifies how systematic reviews can drive meaningful change in surgical practice.
