About
Archana Rajender is a pediatric urologist whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly robotic-assisted procedures for complex congenital kidney conditions. Her research focuses on two key areas: developing realistic surgical simulation models for training, and comparing outcomes between robotic and open surgeries in children. In a pioneering 2020 study, she created and validated a 3D-printed silicone-based model for robotic dismembered pyeloplasty, demonstrating its effectiveness for crowdsourced learning and surgical skill assessment (15 citations). Her 2018 retrospective cohort study provided critical evidence on the perioperative outcomes of robotic versus open partial nephrectomy for poorly functioning renal moieties in children with duplex collecting systems, a challenging patient population (14 citations). Rajender’s work has been instrumental in establishing the safety and efficacy of robotic approaches in pediatric urology, offering insights that guide surgical decision-making and training. Her contributions are particularly valued for their practical impact on surgical education and for improving outcomes in children with complex urologic anomalies.
