About
James F. Donaldson is a leading figure in paediatric urology, with a particular focus on the management of upper tract urolithiasis in children. His work has significantly advanced the understanding of how to diagnose and treat kidney stones in young patients, a field that has historically been under-researched. His most-cited paper, "Imaging modalities and treatment of paediatric upper tract urolithiasis: A systematic review and update on behalf of the EAU urolithiasis guidelines panel" (2020), has garnered 60 citations and serves as a cornerstone for clinical practice. This systematic review not only synthesises existing evidence but also provides updated, evidence-based recommendations that have shaped international guidelines. Donaldson’s contributions are particularly notable for bridging the gap between adult and paediatric urology, ensuring that children receive tailored, minimally invasive treatments. His work has been instrumental in reducing the reliance on radiation-heavy imaging in favour of safer alternatives, and his guidelines have been widely adopted by urologists worldwide. Through his rigorous research and leadership within the European Association of Urology, Donaldson continues to influence the standard of care for paediatric stone disease, making a lasting impact on both clinical outcomes and patient safety.
