About
Nancy L. Sehgel is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive treatments for kidney stone disease, particularly through robotic-assisted technologies. Her major contributions center on the development and clinical validation of novel surgical platforms that integrate robotic precision with electromagnetic guidance to improve outcomes in percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and combined endoscopic procedures. In her landmark 2024 study, she demonstrated the technical feasibility of performing combined mini-PCNL and flexible ureteroscopic lithotripsy using the MONARCH Platform, achieving 14 citations for this innovative work. Her 2025 investigation into robotic-assisted electromagnetic guidance for percutaneous access showed significant improvements in success rates for both novice and expert surgeons, with implications for training and patient safety. Dr. Sehgel’s research addresses critical challenges in stone surgery—namely, the difficulty of gaining optimal renal access—and her work is shaping the next generation of urologic care. With her contributions already influencing surgical practice, she stands at the forefront of integrating robotics into endourology, offering patients safer, more effective treatment options for complex stone burdens.
