About
Amy H. Farkas is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive robotic techniques for complex urinary tract reconstruction. Her major contributions lie in refining and standardizing robotic distal ureterectomy with psoas hitch and ureteroneocystostomy, a procedure that addresses challenging distal ureteral pathologies. In her landmark 2015 paper, which has garnered 10 citations, Dr. Farkas detailed the surgical technique and perioperative outcomes for eight patients (median age 69.5 years), demonstrating the expanded application of robotic systems beyond routine upper and lower urinary tract procedures. This work has helped establish robotic reconstruction as a safe, effective alternative to open surgery, reducing morbidity while preserving renal function. Her research is particularly impactful for aging populations requiring ureteral repair, and her meticulous documentation of technique serves as a vital resource for surgeons adopting these approaches. Dr. Farkas’s contributions continue to shape the evolution of robotic urology, bridging innovation with practical, patient-centered outcomes.
