About

Dr. Paul Kokorowski is a pioneering pediatric urologist whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for children, with a particular focus on robot-assisted laparoscopy. His work has fundamentally shaped how complex urological conditions are managed in pediatric populations, from urachal anomalies to adrenal tumors. His most cited paper (26 citations) established the efficacy of robot-assisted laparoscopic excision for urachal cysts, demonstrating superior reconstructive capabilities compared to traditional laparoscopy. A subsequent case series (21 citations) validated robotic adrenalectomy in children, showing improved dexterity and outcomes at a tertiary center. Dr. Kokorowski has also contributed critical technical innovations, including optimized port placement strategies for pediatric renal surgery (11 citations) and the Hidden Incision Endoscopic Surgery approach for gender-affirming vaginoplasty. His commitment to surgical education is evident in his recent high-fidelity simulation model for managing intraoperative hemorrhage during robotic surgery (2024). With a career spanning over a decade, Dr. Kokorowski continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in pediatric robotic surgery, making procedures safer and less invasive for his young patients.
