About
Howard B. Goldman is a prominent urologist and pelvic reconstructive surgeon whose work has significantly advanced minimally invasive and robotic techniques in urology and female pelvic medicine. His research spans several interconnected domains, including robotic-assisted surgery, vesicovaginal fistula repair, pelvic organ prolapse, and female pelvic floor reconstruction. Goldman made international headlines with his pioneering 2012 work on transvaginal hybrid Natural Orifice Transluminal Surgery (NOTES) robotic donor nephrectomy — the first clinical application of its kind — which has since accumulated 47 citations and signaled a transformative shift in surgical innovation. His influential 2013 review on minimally invasive vesicovaginal fistula repair (41 citations) has become a key reference for surgeons navigating complex reconstructive challenges. His trilogy of 2015 publications on robotic pelvic floor reconstruction, robotic prolapse surgery, and uterine-sparing procedures collectively reflects his commitment to refining patient-centered surgical options, particularly those preserving fertility and reducing recovery time. More recently, his 2021 study demonstrating the safety of same-day discharge across reconstructive surgical cases underscores his dedication to value-based, efficient care. Goldman's cumulative contributions have shaped modern standards in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery.
