About
Kellie McWilliams is a surgical outcomes researcher whose work focuses on refining robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) to improve patient recovery and reduce complications. Her research centers on intra-operative innovations, peri-operative risk factors, and post-surgical quality of life. McWilliams led a pivotal study demonstrating that a valveless trocar system significantly improves outcomes during RARP, reporting reduced operative times and fewer 30-day complications—work that has garnered 33 citations and influenced surgical instrumentation choices. She also conducted a comprehensive analysis of prolonged hospital stays after robotic prostatectomy, identifying key risk factors that enable surgeons to better predict and prevent extended admissions. Additionally, her investigation into acute urinary retention after RARP, though smaller in scale, provided early insights into how this complication impacts short-term continence recovery. With over 70 combined citations for her most-cited papers, McWilliams’ contributions are helping to standardize best practices in robotic urologic surgery, directly translating technical refinements into tangible benefits for patients undergoing prostate cancer treatment.
