About
William R. Boysen is a pioneering pediatric urologist whose research has significantly advanced the adoption and refinement of minimally invasive robotic surgery for children with urological conditions. His work is centered on robot-assisted laparoscopic techniques, particularly for treating vesicoureteral reflux and ureteropelvic junction obstruction in pediatric patients, as well as surgical approaches to upper tract urothelial carcinoma in adults. Boysen's most influential contributions focus on robot-assisted laparoscopic extravesical ureteral reimplantation (RALUR-EV), with landmark studies accumulating over 230 combined citations that helped establish the safety profile, optimal technique modifications, and real-world outcomes of this procedure as a minimally invasive alternative to open surgery. His 2017 multi-institutional review and 2018 prospective multicenter study were especially impactful in resolving conflicting evidence surrounding the procedure's efficacy. His widely cited 2018 review on the current status of robotic pediatric urology (56 citations) further demonstrates his role as a thought leader shaping the broader field. Across his body of work, Boysen consistently employs large-scale, multi-institutional data to strengthen clinical evidence, making his findings both rigorous and directly applicable to improving surgical care for pediatric urological patients.
