About
Dr. Kobi Stav is a leading pediatric urologist whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for complex congenital urinary tract anomalies in children. His major contributions center on comparing robotic and laparoscopic approaches for rare and challenging conditions, such as upper urinary tract duplications, obstructed megaureters, and lower pole uretero-pelvic junction obstruction (UPJO). Through multi-institutional studies, Dr. Stav has provided critical evidence on the safety, efficacy, and outcomes of these procedures, with his most cited work—a 2021 review on robotic versus laparoscopic ipsilateral uretero-ureterostomy—garnering 22 citations. He has also investigated postoperative complications, notably ureteral stent colonization and urinary tract infections following minimally invasive pyeloplasty, a study with 6 citations that highlights his commitment to improving patient care. With a cumulative impact of over 55 citations across his key papers, Dr. Stav’s work is instrumental in guiding surgical decision-making and establishing best practices in pediatric urology. His research not only demonstrates the feasibility of advanced minimally invasive techniques but also underscores the importance of meticulous postoperative management, making him a respected voice in the field.
