About
Dr. Susan D. Wherley is a dedicated researcher in the field of pelvic reconstructive surgery and urogynecology, with a focused interest in optimizing surgical outcomes for women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP). Her most cited work, "Evaluation of the ACS NSQIP surgical risk calculator in patients undergoing pelvic organ prolapse surgery" (2020), critically assesses the accuracy of a widely used risk-prediction tool in this specific patient population. By demonstrating the calculator's limitations in predicting complications for POP surgeries, Dr. Wherley’s research highlights the need for more tailored risk assessment models, directly impacting preoperative counseling and surgical planning. Although her citation count is modest, her contribution is significant for its clinical relevance, offering evidence that challenges generalized surgical risk tools and advocates for procedure-specific data. This work underscores her commitment to improving patient safety and informed decision-making in gynecologic surgery. Dr. Wherley’s research serves as a valuable resource for clinicians and researchers seeking to refine risk stratification in pelvic floor disorders, making her a thoughtful voice in the ongoing dialogue to enhance surgical care for women.
