About
W. Thomas Gregory is a urogynecologist and pelvic reconstructive surgeon whose research centers on the surgical management of pelvic organ prolapse, stress urinary incontinence, and overactive bladder. His most influential work examines robotic sacrocolpopexy — a minimally invasive procedure for vaginal vault prolapse — with a particular focus on optimizing outcomes and minimizing complications. His 2012 study on mesh erosion following robotic sacrocolpopexy, which has garnered 64 citations, provided clinically significant evidence comparing complication rates between total and supracervical hysterectomy approaches, directly informing surgical decision-making. Gregory has further advanced the field by identifying preoperative prolapse staging as a meaningful predictor of surgical failure, offering practitioners a valuable prognostic tool. His investigations into concomitant management of prolapse and stress urinary incontinence using tension-free vaginal tape have shed light on the complexities of treating these frequently co-occurring conditions simultaneously. More recently, his work has explored the nuanced effects of combined sacrocolpopexy and midurethral sling procedures on overactive bladder symptoms. Collectively, Gregory's contributions have meaningfully shaped evidence-based practices in female pelvic medicine, earning him recognition as a rigorous clinician-scientist dedicated to improving surgical outcomes for women.
