About
Dr. Murali Sundram is a pioneering figure in robotic urological surgery, with a particular focus on minimally invasive treatments for complex renal stone disease. His landmark 2006 feasibility study on robotic extended pyelolithotomy, cited 74 times, established a foundational technique for managing large renal calculi through robotic assistance, demonstrating that even intricate stone burdens could be addressed with enhanced precision and reduced morbidity. This work, among the earliest in the field, helped validate the role of robotics in endourology. Sundram further contributed to the global dissemination of these techniques through his 2010 review of the Asian robotic experience, which contextualized regional adoption and outcomes. His research bridges surgical innovation and practical application, offering reproducible methods that have influenced training and practice patterns. As a key opinion leader in Asian urology, Sundram’s work continues to guide surgeons seeking to expand robotic applications beyond oncology, cementing his legacy as a trailblazer in robotic stone surgery.
