About

Dr. Ornnicha Prohsoontorn is a pioneering urological surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive treatments for kidney stone disease. Her primary research focus is the integration of robotic assistance into endoscopic combined intrarenal surgery (ECIRS), a field where precision during renal access remains a critical challenge. Her most notable contribution, detailed in her 2024 paper "Mini ECIRS with BotX: our single-case experience," demonstrates the first reported application of the BotX robotic system to enhance accuracy in miniaturized ECIRS procedures. This work addresses the steep learning curve traditionally associated with renal access, offering a path toward safer, more reproducible outcomes. Though early in its citation history, this single-case study has already garnered 2 citations, signaling growing interest from the endourology community. Dr. Prohsoontorn’s research sits at the intersection of robotics and stone surgery, where she is helping to define the next generation of techniques that could make complex kidney stone removal more accessible to surgeons worldwide. Her work exemplifies how emerging robotic platforms can transform established gold-standard procedures.
