About

Dr. Lauren A. DiNardo is a urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on minimally invasive surgical techniques for complex kidney conditions, particularly ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO). Her major contributions include advancing the understanding and outcomes of robotic pyeloplasty, a key procedure for correcting UPJO. In her landmark 2021 study comparing primary versus redo robotic pyeloplasty, she demonstrated that even revision surgeries can achieve excellent success rates, providing critical guidance for surgeons managing challenging cases. This work has garnered 28 citations, reflecting its influence in the field. Additionally, her 2020 research established that pyeloplasty is both safe and effective for patients with low-functioning kidneys due to UPJO, challenging previous assumptions and expanding surgical options. Dr. DiNardo’s findings have helped refine patient selection and surgical planning, directly improving outcomes for children and adults with congenital or acquired obstructions. Her dedication to evidence-based practice and robotic innovation marks her as a rising authority in pediatric and reconstructive urology.
