About
Dr. Perri Nelson is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on the management of complex urinary tract reconstruction, with a particular focus on ureteroenteric strictures following urinary diversion. Her key research areas include the impact of prior pelvic radiation on surgical outcomes, the pathophysiology of stricture formation, and the optimization of reconstructive techniques. In her most cited study, a contemporary single-center analysis, Dr. Nelson demonstrated that patients with a history of radiotherapy face a significantly higher incidence of ureteroenteric strictures—up to 20%—and that these strictures often present with more challenging clinical features. This work, which has garnered 9 citations, has been instrumental in shaping preoperative counseling and postoperative surveillance protocols for high-risk patients. Beyond this landmark paper, Dr. Nelson has contributed to the broader urologic literature on minimally invasive approaches to urinary diversion and the long-term management of complications. Her research is widely recognized for its direct clinical applicability, helping surgeons better stratify risk and tailor interventions for patients with prior pelvic malignancy treatment.
