About

Claudia Berrondo is a pediatric urologist whose research focuses on the adoption, practice patterns, and outcomes of robotic surgery in children. Her major contributions include pioneering survey-based studies that quantify the real-world integration of robotic technology into pediatric urology, revealing that while the field has been slower to adopt these techniques than adult urology, there is a clear trajectory of increasing use. Her most-cited work, a 2021 survey study with 5 citations, provides critical baseline data on current practice patterns among pediatric urologists, identifying barriers and facilitators to robotic surgery adoption. A subsequent 2024 review synthesizes the state of the art, offering a comprehensive overview of robotic applications in pediatric urology. Though her citation counts are modest, her work is foundational for understanding the dissemination of minimally invasive surgical techniques in a specialized pediatric population. Berrondo’s research directly informs training curricula, hospital resource allocation, and patient counseling, making her a key voice in the ongoing conversation about technological innovation in pediatric surgical care.
