E. Ann Gormley, MD
| E. Ann Gormley, MD | close |
I have been in practice at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center since I finished my fellowship in 1993. I grew up in Canada and did my urology residency at the University of Alberta. I did a fellowship with Ed McGuire in Michigan and Texas. A few months into my fellowship I realized that the opportunities in the US were better for academic female urology and decided to check out some of the then available positions. I was attracted to Dartmouth because of the size of the urology program (small), the opportunity to work collaboratively with gynecology and because it was a good sized academic medical center in a rural community. I have stayed at Dartmouth because it was the right fit back when I started and it remains the right fit. In 2001 I became the residency program director. I am very involved in SUFU and I serve on a variety of AUA committees. In my practice I do 50 - 75% female urology and voiding dysfunction. We do not yet have a fellowship at Dartmouth in female urology. I work closely with the urogynecologists and one day we will likely have a joint fellowship. On a social level I am married to Richard Wallace who owns a ski and bike shop in Hanover, NH. Our "kids" are Hobbes and Callie (black labs) who are 5 and 2. When we are not working we ski, bike, golf, hike and garden. |

When I completed my residency, there was little known compared to today. Because of my interest, I belong to SUFU, the ICS & AUGS. In '96, I presented my work at the AUA & the ACS on extraperitoneal laparoscopic bladder neck suspension. With an excellent general surgeon, we performed > 450 cases, with excellent long term results. However, once Ulmsten presented his reults on tvt, which were reproducible, I started performing sub urethral slings. I have made the transition from tvt, to TOT to the new mini-sling. For co-existing prolapse, I work with a superb urogynecologist. He performs recinstruction based on the best option for the patient, including Prolift if feasible. Our rersults are in line with the best published results & our complication rate is <1 %. We have no patients with permanent retention. In addition, I treat interstitial cystitis, stones during pregnancy, overactive bladder, chronic UTI's, incontinence refractory to previous treatment. I probably perform more than 150 slings/yr. When I was a tvt proctor, I trained > 100 urologists & gyn including academic department chairs. |
