About
Dr. Emily Ji is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research centers on the diagnosis, patient-centered assessment, and surgical management of ureteral stricture disease (USD), with a particular focus on the complex challenges of transplant ureteral strictures. Her major contributions include the development of a novel patient-reported outcome measure specifically designed for USD patients, a critical tool that captures the patient’s perspective on symptoms and quality of life—an area previously lacking validated instruments. In parallel, her work on the “reconstructive ladder” for transplant USD provides a structured, evidence-based framework for robotic surgical reconstruction, detailing objective outcomes that guide surgeons through increasingly complex repairs. Although her most-cited papers are recent (2024), each already garnering 2 citations, their impact lies in filling a significant void in both subjective and objective assessment of this difficult condition. Dr. Ji’s research is notable for bridging the gap between patient experience and surgical technique, offering a comprehensive approach that promises to improve both clinical decision-making and patient satisfaction in reconstructive urology.
