About
Dr. Lisa Goldberg is a pioneering urological surgeon whose work focuses on neurogenic bladder, spina bifida, and innovative reconstructive techniques for the lower urinary tract. Her most notable contribution is the development and clinical investigation of the Tengion Autologous Neo-Bladder Augment™ (NBA), a groundbreaking tissue-engineered approach for augmentation cystoplasty. This work, detailed in her highly cited 2009 Phase 2 study, offers patients with neurogenic bladder secondary to spina bifida a regenerative alternative to traditional bowel-based surgery, potentially reducing long-term metabolic and infectious complications. Beyond this, Dr. Goldberg has addressed rare and challenging surgical complications, such as rectovesical fistula following radical prostatectomy, demonstrating her expertise in complex reconstructive urology. Her research, which has garnered significant attention with her seminal paper accumulating 8 citations, has been instrumental in advancing the field toward more physiologic, patient-specific solutions. By bridging tissue engineering with clinical urology, Dr. Goldberg has established herself as a leader in developing next-generation therapies that improve both functional outcomes and quality of life for patients with congenital and acquired bladder disorders.
