About

A.J. Ghissi is a pediatric surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for children, with a particular focus on laparoscopic pyeloplasty—a procedure to correct ureteropelvic junction obstruction. His most cited contribution, "Laparoscopic pediatric pyeloplasty using the Flexdex® articulating needle driver: step-by-step video" (2019, 12 citations), demonstrates his commitment to refining surgical precision through innovative instrumentation. By providing a detailed, video-guided methodology for utilizing the Flexdex® articulating needle driver, Ghissi has helped standardize a complex technique, reducing operative challenges and improving outcomes for young patients. This work highlights his role in bridging the gap between emerging technology and practical pediatric surgery, offering a reproducible model for surgeons worldwide. While his citation count reflects a focused, early-career impact, his contributions are notable for their educational value and potential to shape future training in pediatric urology. Ghissi’s research underscores the importance of stepwise, visual learning in surgery, making him a valuable resource for trainees and peers seeking to adopt advanced laparoscopic methods.
