Transperineal rectourethral fistula repair (2013). Led a review of 23 rectal sphincter-preserving transperineal repairs: all 10 postoperative fistulas closed, against 8 of 13 energy-ablative fistulas, and the authors advised an interposition muscle flap after energy ablation.

Excision and primary anastomosis for radiation-associated bulbomembranous stenosis (2021). Led a 10-center TURNS review of 137 men with 86.9% success at a mean 32.3 months; older age and longer stenosis were independently associated with recurrence, and 21.9% later received an artificial urinary sphincter.

Early endoscopic realignment after pelvic fracture urethral injury (2012). Senior author of a Level 1 trauma center series in which early realignment failed in 15 of 19 men, at a mean of 79 days after catheter removal.
