About
Dr. Hayley Johnson is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for complex renal pathologies, particularly autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). Her major contribution lies in refining robotic-assisted bilateral nephrectomy for patients with massively enlarged polycystic kidneys—a procedure historically fraught with technical difficulty and high morbidity. In her landmark 2023 study, Dr. Johnson systematically described and compared outcomes using both the da Vinci XI and the novel da Vinci Single Port platforms, demonstrating that synchronous robotic removal of both kidneys is not only feasible but can be performed safely even in the most challenging cases. This work has garnered 6 citations to date, establishing a foundational reference for surgeons adopting this approach. Beyond technique, her research emphasizes perioperative optimization and patient selection, helping to expand surgical options for ADPKD patients suffering from debilitating pain, recurrent infections, or preparing for transplantation. Dr. Johnson’s contributions are shaping the next generation of robotic urologic surgery, bridging the gap between innovation and practical, reproducible clinical care.
