About

Eric B. Schneider is a leading surgical outcomes researcher whose work bridges urology and colorectal surgery through the lens of large-scale data analysis. His primary research areas focus on the adoption and impact of robotic-assisted surgical techniques, particularly for ureteropelvic junction obstruction and pediatric urologic conditions. Schneider’s major contributions include landmark studies that charted the rapid rise of robotic pyeloplasty, demonstrating its increasing utilization in both adult and pediatric populations. By leveraging national inpatient databases, he provided critical evidence on shifting surgical trends and associated patient outcomes. His most cited work, "Trends in Robot-assisted Laparoscopic Pyeloplasty in Pediatric Patients" (59 citations), remains a foundational reference for understanding minimally invasive approaches in children. Another influential study, "Emerging Trends in Robotic Pyeloplasty for the Management of Ureteropelvic Junction Obstruction in Adults" (38 citations), systematically evaluated national practice patterns from 2005 to 2010. Schneider has also contributed to colorectal cancer research, comparing operative approaches and postoperative outcomes (27 citations). His data-driven methodology has helped shape clinical decision-making and surgical training, making him a respected voice in evidence-based surgical practice.
