About

Dr. Rebecca Zee is a pediatric urologist whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques and standardizing care for common urological conditions in children. Her most-cited work, "Robotic-assisted laparoscopic MACE" (2017, 15 citations), explores the application of robotic technology for Malone antegrade continence enema procedures, demonstrating her commitment to improving surgical outcomes and quality of life for pediatric patients with bowel management needs. She also made significant contributions to clinical practice guidelines through her 2017 study "A practice pattern assessment of members of the Society of Pediatric Urology for evaluation and treatment of urinary tract dilation" (12 citations), which surveyed expert practices to identify variability and inform evidence-based approaches to this common prenatal finding. Additionally, her early work on surgical education, "Surgical attention and movement in novice and expert robotic surgeons" (2014, 3 citations), investigated how cognitive and motor skills differ with experience, laying groundwork for training curricula in robotic surgery. Dr. Zee’s research bridges innovation in robotic urology with practical, patient-centered care, and her work continues to influence both surgical technique and clinical decision-making in pediatric urology.
