About

Kimberley Hoyland is a urological researcher whose work centers on improving surgical outcomes for patients undergoing radical prostatectomy and cystectomy. Her primary research areas include post-prostatectomy urinary incontinence, the refinement of robotic-assisted surgical techniques, and preoperative risk assessment using cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET). Hoyland’s most impactful contribution is her landmark 2014 study on the etiology and prevention of incontinence following radical prostatectomy, which has garnered 88 citations. This work systematically examined how all surgical approaches—open, laparoscopic, or robotic—carry inherent risks for urinary incontinence, a complication that profoundly affects quality of life. By identifying key preventive strategies, her research has helped guide surgeons in minimizing this debilitating side effect. Additionally, Hoyland has explored rare postoperative complications, such as unusual causes of increased drain output after robotic prostatectomy, and has advanced the use of CPET as a preoperative tool for risk stratification before radical cystectomy. Her work underscores a commitment to evidence-based practice, bridging surgical innovation with patient-centered outcomes. For students and researchers, Hoyland’s contributions offer critical insights into optimizing recovery and reducing long-term morbidity in urologic oncology.
