About
Stephen A. Zderic is a pediatric urologist whose research focuses on improving surgical outcomes and pain management for children undergoing urological reconstruction. His major contributions center on two key areas: optimizing perioperative care and evaluating the comparative effectiveness of surgical techniques. In a large, single-institutional analysis, Dr. Zderic examined trends in opioid and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) usage in children after common urinary tract reconstruction, highlighting efforts to reduce opioid reliance while maintaining effective pain control. His work on ureteropelvic junction obstruction provides critical insights into the outcomes and direct costs of open versus robot-assisted repair, demonstrating a commitment to evidence-based surgical decision-making. With over 7 citations for his opioid study and 6 for his cost-comparison analysis, Dr. Zderic’s research is shaping clinical guidelines and informing best practices in pediatric urology. His dedication to balancing innovation with fiscal responsibility and patient safety makes him a valuable contributor to the field, particularly for trainees and researchers interested in pediatric surgical outcomes and health economics.
