About

Dr. Julie Riley is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work has significantly advanced the field of robotic-assisted reconstructive surgery. Her primary research focuses on optimizing minimally invasive techniques for complex ureteral and bladder procedures, with a particular emphasis on improving patient outcomes and surgical ergonomics. Dr. Riley’s most notable contribution is her innovative work on the side docking position for robotic-assisted distal ureteral reconstruction, as detailed in her highly-cited 2015 paper (20 citations). This technique revolutionized the standard approach by addressing the critical limitation of restricted bladder access during stent placement, traditionally encountered with the lithotomy position and between-the-legs docking. By demonstrating the safety and efficacy of side docking, Dr. Riley provided surgeons with a more practical and versatile method, enhancing procedural efficiency and patient care. Her research has been instrumental in expanding the applications of robotic surgery in urology, earning her recognition as a key innovator in the field. With her work continuing to influence surgical practices, Dr. Riley remains a vital contributor to the evolution of minimally invasive urologic surgery.
