About
Daryl J. McLeod is a pediatric urologist whose research centers on the application and outcomes of robotic surgery in children. His work has been instrumental in defining the safety, efficacy, and evolving utilization of minimally invasive techniques for complex congenital and acquired urologic conditions. McLeod’s major contributions include landmark comparative studies demonstrating that robot-assisted laparoscopic approaches can achieve outcomes equivalent to traditional open and pure laparoscopic surgery for procedures like pyeloplasty and ureteral reimplantation, while also pioneering the use of robotic technology for challenging cases such as duplex renal anomalies and heminephrectomy in infants as young as six months. His research, cited over 300 times, has provided critical data on national trends, showing a significant increase in robotic surgery adoption across U.S. children’s hospitals. Notably, his work on segmental arterial mapping during robotic heminephrectomy has enhanced surgical precision and safety. McLeod’s investigations into cost and utilization patterns have also informed policy and practice, making him a leading voice in the evidence-based integration of robotics into pediatric urology.
