About
Dr. April Bailey is a clinician-researcher whose work sits at the intersection of advanced pelvic imaging and surgical decision-making for pelvic floor disorders. Her primary research focus is on the role of MRI defecography in the evaluation and management of pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Her most cited work, "Impact of MRI Defecography on Clinical Evaluation and Surgical Management of Pelvic Organ Prolapse," co-authored with Maude Carmel, Gaurav Khatri, and Philippe Zimmern, is a landmark study that demonstrated how dynamic MRI can alter clinical staging and directly influence surgical planning. This contribution has been foundational in establishing imaging as a critical tool for complex prolapse cases, moving beyond traditional physical exam alone. While her citation count reflects the niche, highly specialized nature of her field, the impact of her work is profound: it has helped refine preoperative assessment, reduce surgical surprises, and improve outcomes for patients with multicompartment prolapse. Dr. Bailey’s research bridges radiology and urology, offering a model for evidence-based, imaging-guided pelvic reconstructive surgery.
