About
Dr. C.D. Anthony Herndon is a leading pediatric urologist whose research has significantly advanced the application of robotic-assisted surgery in children, particularly for complex congenital anomalies. His work focuses on minimally invasive techniques for duplicated collecting systems, a condition where a kidney has two ureters. Herndon’s landmark 2013 study on robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy in this population (44 citations) established a safer, more precise alternative to traditional open surgery, reducing morbidity. He further refined these approaches through pioneering work on robotic-assisted laparoscopic MACE procedures and ipsilateral ureteroureterostomy, each cited 15 times, demonstrating reproducible outcomes that have shaped clinical guidelines. Beyond surgical innovation, Herndon has influenced practice patterns, as seen in his 2017 assessment of urinary tract dilation management among Society of Pediatric Urology members (12 citations), highlighting variability in care and driving standardization. His dedication to training is evident in his 2014 study on proctor environments for faculty learning robotic pyeloplasty (7 citations), ensuring the next generation of surgeons can safely adopt these techniques. With a career focused on merging cutting-edge technology with pediatric urology, Herndon’s work has improved surgical precision and outcomes for children worldwide.
