About

Dr. Sri Sivalingam is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive treatments for complex kidney conditions, particularly renal angiomyolipomas and nephrolithiasis. His landmark 2013 paper, "Contemporary Minimally Invasive Treatment Options for Renal Angiomyolipomas," with 42 citations, established a foundational framework for managing these benign tumors, guiding clinicians toward safer, nephron-sparing approaches. More recently, Dr. Sivalingam has been at the forefront of integrating robotic technology into percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). His 2022 cadaveric study demonstrated that robotic-assisted electromagnetic guidance significantly reduces radiation exposure for novice surgeons during percutaneous access, a critical step in stone surgery. This work culminated in a 2025 study showing that this technology improves access success rates for both novices and experts, signaling a paradigm shift toward safer, more precise stone treatment. By combining rigorous clinical research with innovative surgical techniques, Dr. Sivalingam is shaping the future of endourology, making complex procedures more accessible and less invasive for patients worldwide.
