About
Naif Alqarni is a pediatric urology researcher whose work focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for treating ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) in children. His major contributions center on evaluating and comparing treatment outcomes for this common congenital condition, which affects up to 1 in 750 live births. In his 2024 study, Alqarni conducted a comparative retrospective analysis demonstrating that minimally invasive pyeloplasty offers a viable alternative to the traditional open approach, which has a 90–95% success rate. His 2025 research further explores management strategies for failed pyeloplasty, investigating whether balloon dilatation can serve as a valid, less technically demanding option compared to redo-pyeloplasty. Though early in his career, with his most cited paper accumulating 4 citations, Alqarni’s work addresses a critical clinical question in pediatric urology: how to optimize surgical interventions to minimize invasiveness while maintaining high success rates. His research provides valuable evidence for surgeons weighing treatment options for UPJO, particularly in complex cases involving treatment failure.
