About
Boris Chertin is a pioneering pediatric urologist whose work has significantly advanced minimally invasive surgical techniques for congenital urological conditions in children. His research centers on robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery, urinary tract reconstruction, and the management of complex congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT). Chertin has been instrumental in establishing robotic-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP) as a viable and effective alternative to open surgery in pediatric populations, exploring critical questions around patient weight, learning curves, and clinical outcomes — work that has collectively garnered over 110 citations. Perhaps most notably, he developed and described the RADECUR technique — a novel robot-assisted approach for obstructed megaureter — contributing original surgical innovation to the field. His multi-institutional comparative studies on robotic versus laparoscopic approaches have helped shape evidence-based practice across pediatric urology centers worldwide. Chertin's research also bridges pediatric and adult urology, examining how congenital conditions managed in childhood extend into adult care. For students and researchers entering pediatric urology, his body of work offers a compelling roadmap for understanding how robotic surgery is reshaping outcomes for the youngest and most vulnerable patients.
