About

Dr. Alexey Barskov is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher specializing in complex ureteral reconstruction, with a particular focus on minimally invasive techniques for managing long-segment ureteral strictures. His major contributions center on advancing the use of buccal mucosal graft (BMG) ureteroplasty—a technique that borrows tissue from the cheek to repair damaged ureters—demonstrating its reliability and high success rates in challenging cases. In his landmark 2024 study, cited 13 times, Dr. Barskov compared open and robotic approaches to BMG ureteroplasty, finding that the robotic method significantly reduces intraoperative blood loss while maintaining excellent outcomes. This work has helped establish robotic ureteroplasty as a safer, less invasive alternative for patients with complex proximal ureteral strictures, a condition notoriously difficult to treat. By systematically evaluating and comparing surgical techniques, Dr. Barskov has provided crucial evidence guiding clinical decision-making in reconstructive urology. His research not only improves surgical precision and patient recovery but also expands treatment options for those with limited alternatives, making him a key figure in the evolution of ureteral reconstruction.
