About
Kiersten Craig is a pediatric urologist whose research focuses on minimally invasive surgical techniques for congenital urological conditions in children. Her most notable work centers on the management of ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) in very young patients, particularly those under 12 months of age. In her landmark multi-institutional retrospective analysis, she compared open and robot-assisted surgical approaches for UPJO, providing critical evidence that robotic surgery is both safe and effective in this delicate population. This study, which has garnered early citations, helps guide surgeons in selecting the optimal technique for infants, balancing outcomes with the benefits of minimally invasive surgery. Craig’s contributions are shaping best practices in pediatric urology, offering families and clinicians data-driven insights into surgical decision-making. Her work underscores a commitment to advancing pediatric surgical care through rigorous, collaborative research.
