About
Sharon Hill is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work focuses on optimizing surgical outcomes in minimally invasive kidney cancer surgery and addressing the opioid crisis within urology. Her most impactful contribution is a rigorous, randomized controlled trial evaluating the use of intraoperative mannitol during robotic-assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy—a study that has garnered 15 citations and challenged long-standing practices in renal protection during surgery. This work, along with a related prospective evaluation, has helped refine perioperative protocols for nephron-sparing surgery. Demonstrating a commitment to public health, Hill also led a national survey of urology residents that characterized post-operative opioid prescribing practices, revealing critical trends and educational gaps that have informed efforts to reduce overprescription. Her research bridges the technical precision of robotic surgery with broader systems-level improvements in patient safety and responsible pain management.
