About
Lily Kong is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research spans the frontiers of robotic surgery, complex stone disease, and gender-affirming care. Her work has fundamentally advanced minimally invasive approaches to challenging urologic conditions, with her most cited studies each garnering 2 citations in their first year of publication—a strong signal of emerging impact. In her landmark 2024 case report on robotic ureterolithotomy for retained stents with massive encrustation, Kong demonstrated how robotic technology can salvage cases where traditional endoscopic methods fail, offering patients a definitive solution to this rare but devastating complication. Her 2025 scoping review on the role of surgical robots in gender-affirming surgery represents a seminal contribution to this rapidly evolving field, systematically mapping how robotic platforms can enhance precision in both feminizing and masculinizing procedures. By bridging the gap between established robotic techniques and emerging surgical needs, Kong has positioned herself at the intersection of technological innovation and patient-centered care. Her work not only expands the therapeutic arsenal for complex stone disease but also helps legitimize and standardize robotic approaches in gender-affirming surgery, making her a rising voice in urologic innovation.
