About
Lifei Ma is a pioneering pediatric urological surgeon whose work centers on robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery for complex urological conditions in children, including neonates and infants. Based on a robust body of research, Ma has made significant contributions to advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for some of the most challenging pediatric cases, including ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO), obstructive megaureter, vesicoureteral reflux, and rare malignancies such as rhabdomyosarcoma and Wilms' tumor. Among Ma's most impactful contributions is the demonstration that robotic-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty can be safely performed in infants as young as three months, a technically demanding achievement that has garnered 18 citations and reshaped thinking around early surgical intervention. Ma's innovative modification of extravesical ureteral reimplantation techniques for infants, cited 13 times, further underscores a commitment to refining surgical precision in vulnerable populations. Additional work on labial mucosal grafting for ureteral reconstruction and appendiceal onlay ureteroplasty reveals a creative approach to complex anatomical challenges. With a growing citation record spanning 2019 to 2025, Ma's research is establishing important long-term outcome benchmarks that will guide the next generation of pediatric urological surgeons worldwide.
