About
Dr. Jason Au is a pediatric urologist whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for complex congenital urinary tract conditions in children. His major contributions center on robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty and pyeloureterostomy, particularly in infants and small children where working spaces are extremely limited. In his most cited work (35 citations), Dr. Au demonstrated that using 5 mm instruments does not compromise outcomes in smaller patients, providing crucial evidence for adapting robotic technology to pediatric populations. He further quantified the additional technical difficulty of re-do pyeloplasty after failed primary procedures, offering benchmarks for surgeons facing these challenging cases (17 citations). His innovative work on double-J ureteral stenting techniques for infants with duplex systems and upper pole hydronephrosis (13 citations) has expanded surgical options for complex anatomy. Dr. Au's research has direct clinical impact, helping to standardize robotic approaches in pediatric urology and improve surgical decision-making for young patients with ureteropelvic junction obstruction and other congenital anomalies.
