About
Dr. Emily Hillman is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly in robotic-assisted oncology. Her primary research areas include the optimization of perioperative outcomes in bladder cancer surgery and the intraoperative use of fluorescence imaging technologies. Dr. Hillman’s major contribution lies in systematically evaluating the clinical utility of indocyanine green (ICG) with near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) during robotic-assisted cystectomy with urinary diversion. Her landmark study, “Comparison of the perioperative outcomes of using the Firefly system with indocyanine green during robotic‐assisted cystectomy with urinary diversion,” demonstrated how ICG can enhance real-time assessment of bowel and ureteric vascularity, aiming to reduce complications such as anastomotic bowel leak. Although recently published in 2024 with 3 citations, this work is already shaping intraoperative decision-making protocols. Dr. Hillman’s research is distinguished by its direct translational impact, bridging advanced imaging technology with tangible improvements in patient safety and surgical precision. Her ongoing investigations continue to refine the role of fluorescence-guided surgery, positioning her as a rising authority in robotic urologic oncology.
