About

Dr. Susanne Reinhardt is a pioneering pediatric urologist whose work is reshaping surgical care for children through the adoption and refinement of robotic-assisted techniques. Her research centers on minimally invasive surgery for complex congenital and urological conditions, with a particular focus on procedures like appendicovesicostomy, varicocelectomy, and robotic pyeloplasty. Dr. Reinhardt’s major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility and safety of launching robotic surgery programs even in centers with limited case volumes, a critical insight for expanding access to advanced care. Her systematic review and case series on robot-assisted versus open appendicovesicostomy (13 citations) provides essential comparative data, while her work on robotic varicocelectomy in pediatric populations (8 citations) offers a detailed technical roadmap for surgeons. Her most cited study (15 citations) on starting robotic surgery with a fellow as console surgeon challenges traditional training paradigms, advocating for hands-on learning to accelerate program adoption. Through these studies, Dr. Reinhardt has accumulated over 36 citations, establishing herself as a key voice in pediatric robotic urology. Her work not only advances surgical precision and recovery for young patients but also provides pragmatic guidance for institutions seeking to adopt these innovative techniques.
