About
Serena Sodha is a leading urological surgeon and researcher whose work centers on the physiology and outcomes of minimally invasive renal surgery. Her most-cited study, “Effect of Pneumoperitoneum on Renal Function and Physiology in Patients Undergoing Robotic Renal Surgery” (2016, 67 citations), provides a critical analysis of how the pneumoperitoneum—the pressurized gas used to create surgical space—impacts kidney function during robotic procedures. This work has become a foundational reference for surgeons seeking to balance the benefits of robotic access, such as shorter hospital stays and faster recovery, against the physiological stress it imposes on renal tissue. Beyond this landmark paper, Sodha’s research portfolio explores the optimization of surgical techniques to reduce morbidity while preserving oncologic and functional outcomes. Her contributions are particularly valued by trainees and practicing urologists navigating the transition from open to robotic surgery, as she clarifies the trade-offs inherent in modern approaches. With her work cited by peers refining perioperative protocols, Sodha stands out as a clinician-scientist who bridges technical innovation with patient safety.
