About
Dr. Alexandra Rehfuss is a pioneering pediatric urologist whose work focuses on the feasibility and safety of minimally invasive robotic surgery in the youngest and most vulnerable patients. Her research addresses critical technical challenges in infant urology, particularly the spatial and anatomical constraints of performing robotic upper tract surgery in neonates and infants under six months of age. Her most-cited study, "Robotic upper tract surgery in infants 6 months or less: is there enough space?" (2021, 7 citations), provides foundational evidence that robotic procedures are not only possible but can be performed safely in this delicate population, challenging previous assumptions about size limitations. This work has significant implications for reducing surgical trauma and improving recovery outcomes in pediatric patients. Dr. Rehfuss’s contributions are helping to expand the boundaries of robotic-assisted surgery, offering new hope for families and advancing the field of pediatric urology through rigorous, patient-centered research.
