About

Niki Parikh is a pediatric surgeon at the forefront of minimally invasive urologic surgery, with a focused expertise in single-port robotic techniques. Her most impactful work, "And then there was one … incision. First single-port pediatric robotic case series" (2023, 16 citations), documents the first-ever series of pediatric patients undergoing single-incision robotic surgery, demonstrating that complex procedures can be performed through a single, nearly invisible umbilical incision. This breakthrough reduces scarring, pain, and recovery time for children. Parikh further advanced the field with "Single-Port Robotic Pyeloplasty in a Pediatric Patient" (2020, 2 citations), a video-article that provides a step-by-step guide to this novel approach for treating kidney blockages. Beyond her technical innovations, she has also contributed to patient safety, as seen in her case report "An Unusual Complication of Retropubic Midurethral Sling Placement: Obturator Neuralgia" (2021, 4 citations), which alerts surgeons to a rare but debilitating complication. Parikh’s work is pioneering a new era of scarless pediatric surgery, making her a leading voice in the push to minimize surgical trauma for the youngest patients.
