About
Dr. Allison Polland is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on refining surgical techniques in robot-assisted prostatectomy, with a particular focus on improving outcomes for prostate cancer patients. Her key research areas include minimally invasive surgical innovation, postoperative recovery optimization, and the perioperative impact of common medications. Dr. Polland made a significant contribution with her pioneering study on the use of polyglyconate unidirectional barbed sutures for posterior reconstruction and anastomosis during robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP). This work, cited 30 times, demonstrated that barbed sutures could reduce procedure time while maintaining efficacy, offering a practical advancement that enhances surgical efficiency without compromising patient outcomes. She has also investigated the effects of statin use on blood loss during both robot-assisted and open radical prostatectomy, contributing valuable insights into how widely prescribed medications can influence surgical bleeding. Through these focused investigations, Dr. Polland has helped shape modern urologic practice, providing evidence that supports safer, faster, and more effective surgical care for men undergoing prostate cancer treatment.
