About

Gregory E. Tasian is a leading pediatric urologist whose research focuses on surgical innovation, pediatric stone disease, and the application of robotic technology in children. He is best known for his pioneering work in defining the learning curve for robotic-assisted surgery in pediatric urology training. His landmark study, "Learning Curve of Robotic Assisted Pyeloplasty for Pediatric Urology Fellows" (2013, 100 citations), demonstrated that pediatric urology fellows can achieve proficiency in robotic pyeloplasty within a two-year fellowship, providing critical evidence for surgical education and patient safety. This work has shaped training curricula and set benchmarks for robotic skill acquisition. Additionally, his comprehensive review "The Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Pyeloplasty" (2014, 42 citations) has become a key reference for surgeons adopting this minimally invasive technique. Dr. Tasian’s contributions extend beyond the operating room; he has been a driving force in understanding the epidemiology and prevention of kidney stones in children, earning him national recognition. His research, cited over 1,500 times, continues to influence pediatric urology practice, making him a pivotal figure in advancing surgical care for children.
