About
Mark A. Faasse is a leading pediatric urologist whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for children, particularly in the treatment of vesicoureteral reflux and megaureter. His major contributions include landmark analyses of national trends in ureteral reimplantation, where his 2016 study (cited 57 times) demonstrated the dramatic shift from open to laparoscopic and robot-assisted approaches across the United States between 2000 and 2012. Faasse has also pioneered specific technical innovations, such as robot-assisted laparoscopic ureteral reimplantation with excisional tailoring for refluxing megaureter, and has investigated perioperative pain management strategies, including caudal and transversus abdominis plane blocks for pediatric urologic robotic surgery. His work has been instrumental in establishing the safety, efficacy, and comparative benefits of robotic-assisted procedures in children, helping to shape contemporary surgical practice. Through these contributions, Faasse has become a key figure in the evolution of pediatric urology, bridging the gap between traditional open surgery and modern, less invasive alternatives.
