About
Dr. L. Freton is a leading urologic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive robotic techniques for complex reconstructive and oncologic procedures. Her work centers on neurogenic bladder dysfunction, stress urinary incontinence, and ureteral stricture disease, with a particular emphasis on comparing open, laparoscopic, and robotic approaches to improve patient outcomes. Dr. Freton’s major contributions include demonstrating the safety and efficacy of robotic cystectomy and ileal conduit for neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction, as well as pioneering robotic artificial urinary sphincter implantation in women—a procedure traditionally limited by technical difficulty. Her landmark 2021 study comparing surgical approaches for cystectomy has garnered 17 citations, while her 2018 work on predicting morbidity after robotic partial nephrectomy has been cited 16 times. More recently, her 2024 study on robotic YV plasty for bladder neck contracture and her 2025 multicenter trial on robot-assisted sphincter implantation have further solidified her reputation. With over 55 total citations across her most-cited works, Dr. Freton is recognized as an innovator in robotic urology, consistently pushing the boundaries of what is possible in reconstructive surgery.
