About

Dr. Donna Gilmour is a leading figure in gynecologic surgery, whose work has fundamentally reshaped patient safety protocols. Her research centers on the prevention and detection of surgical complications, with a particular focus on urinary tract injuries during benign gynecologic procedures. Her landmark 2015 study, "Urinary Tract Injury at Benign Gynecologic Surgery and the Role of Cystoscopy," has amassed over 157 citations, serving as a cornerstone for evidence-based practice. In this pivotal work, Dr. Gilmour systematically analyzed injury rates and critically evaluated the role of routine intraoperative cystoscopy, providing the data that has driven a major shift toward its adoption as a standard of care. By demonstrating that immediate detection can significantly reduce the morbidity of postoperatively discovered injuries, she has directly influenced surgical guidelines worldwide. Dr. Gilmour’s contributions have not only advanced clinical knowledge but have also empowered surgeons with a practical tool to enhance patient safety, cementing her legacy as a transformative force in benign gynecologic surgery.
