About
Arun K. Srinivasan is a pioneering pediatric urologist whose research has significantly advanced the application of robotic and minimally invasive surgery in children. His work centers on robot-assisted laparoscopic techniques for conditions including ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction, vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), and ureteral reimplantation — some of the most common and surgically challenging problems in pediatric urology. Srinivasan's most cited contribution, a prospective multicenter study on robot-assisted laparoscopic extravesical ureteral reimplantation (RALUR-EV), garnered 76 citations and helped establish safety and efficacy benchmarks for this procedure across institutions. His investigations into pediatric robotic pyeloplasty — examining variables such as patient age, stenting strategies, primary versus redo cases, and bilateral versus unilateral surgery — have collectively shaped best practices and informed surgical decision-making worldwide. Notably, his work on robotic surgery in infants advocates for smaller, fewer incisions, pushing the boundaries of what is technically feasible in the youngest patients. With contributions spanning outcomes research, learning curve analysis, and comprehensive reviews of robotics in pediatric urology, Srinivasan has emerged as a leading voice in modernizing surgical care for children with urological conditions.
