About
Bruce W. Lindgren is a pioneering pediatric urologist whose research has fundamentally advanced the application of robotic surgery in children. His work centers on minimally invasive techniques for complex congenital and acquired urologic conditions, with a particular focus on ureteropelvic junction obstruction and vesicoureteral reflux. Lindgren’s major contributions include demonstrating that robot-assisted laparoscopic reoperative pyeloplasty is a safe and highly effective salvage option for failed primary repairs, with his seminal 2012 paper accumulating 70 citations and an updated 2018 series confirming durable outcomes. He has also shaped national practice patterns through a landmark 2016 study (57 citations) characterizing the rising adoption of robotic ureteral reimplantation across the United States. Notably, Lindgren has pushed the boundaries of pediatric robotics by proving its safety and efficacy in the most challenging populations, including infants under one year of age and those weighing ≤10 kg. His work on proctoring and learning curves has helped standardize training, while his investigations into perioperative pain management and combined endoscopic-robotic approaches for nephrolithiasis showcase his commitment to optimizing every aspect of care. With over 300 total citations, Lindgren’s research has been instrumental in establishing robotic surgery as a cornerstone of modern pediatric urology.
