About

Hadley Wood is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of surgical innovation, patient safety, and complex reconstructive urology. Her most cited study, “Upper and Middle Trunk Brachial Plexopathy After Robotic Prostatectomy” (19 citations), identified a rare but serious nerve injury associated with patient positioning during robotic-assisted prostatectomy, directly influencing perioperative protocols to prevent such complications. Dr. Wood has also pioneered novel reconstructive techniques, including single-port, robot-assisted transanal harvest of rectal mucosa grafts for substitution urethroplasty—an approach offering an alternative when traditional buccal mucosa is insufficient for long urethral strictures. Her clinical investigations extend to managing rare complications such as prostatosymphyseal fistula following laser prostate procedures, where she has contributed both case series and systematic reviews. Additionally, her work on inpatient care patterns for prostate cancer in men with spina bifida highlights her commitment to addressing surgical needs in underserved populations. With a career marked by technical ingenuity and a focus on improving surgical outcomes, Dr. Wood’s contributions are shaping safer, more effective urologic care.
