About
Kristine Kit Yi Pang is a pediatric urologist whose research has made significant contributions to the field of minimally invasive surgery for urological conditions in children. Her work centers primarily on the surgical management of ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) obstruction, with a particular focus on comparing and refining robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP) and laparoscopic pyeloplasty (LP) techniques. Pang's most influential study, garnering 23 citations, documented the critical transition surgeons undergo when shifting from LP to RALP, offering valuable real-world insights into outcomes during this learning curve. Her subsequent work, with 21 citations, extended this comparison to one of the most technically demanding patient populations — infants aged 12 months or younger — providing rare evidence to guide surgical decision-making in this vulnerable group. Pang has also advanced complex combined procedures, demonstrating how RALP can be integrated with flexible endoscopy to simultaneously address UPJ obstruction and calyceal stones in a single operative session. Her research on rare congenital anomalies, including a robotic repair of a vesicovaginal fistula, further illustrates her breadth of expertise. Collectively, her work has meaningfully shaped best practices in pediatric robotic urology.
