About
Dr. Michael Ordon is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work centers on the application of robotic-assisted surgery to complex renal and transplant procedures. His most significant contribution is the development and refinement of intra-corporeal robotic renal auto-transplantation, a minimally invasive alternative to the traditional laparoscopic nephrectomy followed by open surgery for managing long ureteric strictures. His seminal 2015 paper on this technique, with 32 citations, has helped establish a new standard of care. Dr. Ordon has also critically examined surgeon-specific factors influencing treatment decisions for small renal masses, demonstrating how biases affect management of pT1a tumours. His innovative applications extend to robotic renal allograft transplantation and the management of post-transplant anastomotic strictures, showcasing the future of transplant surgery. With a growing body of work on robotic-assisted pyeloplasty for ureteropelvic junction obstruction, including a recent 2023 Canadian outcomes study, Dr. Ordon is a leading voice in advancing minimally invasive urologic surgery, consistently pushing the boundaries of what is possible with robotic technology to improve patient outcomes.
