About
Dr. Therese Schulz is a pioneering urological surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive techniques for complex kidney reconstruction, particularly robotic-assisted pyeloplasty. Her research has fundamentally shaped how surgeons approach ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO), with a focus on optimizing surgical access and managing challenging anatomical variations. In her landmark 2017 study, she conducted the first prospective randomised comparison between transperitoneal and retroperitoneoscopic approaches for robotic pyeloplasty, demonstrating critical insights into operative outcomes and recovery that have influenced surgical decision-making worldwide (26 citations). Dr. Schulz is also recognized for her innovative work on re-pyeloplasty in horseshoe kidneys, where she developed a novel robotic-assisted technique for patients with failed previous surgeries—a procedure that addresses one of the most technically demanding scenarios in reconstructive urology (8 citations). Her contributions have not only expanded the repertoire of safe, effective options for patients with complex renal anatomy but have also set new standards for evidence-based practice in robotic urology. Through her meticulous comparative studies and technical innovations, Dr. Schulz continues to empower surgeons to achieve better outcomes in even the most challenging cases.
