About
Dr. Theresa Meyer is a leading pediatric urologist whose research has transformed the surgical management of complex urinary tract obstructions in children. Her primary focus is on minimally invasive, robot-assisted laparoscopic techniques for reoperative pyeloplasty—a procedure to correct failed ureteropelvic junction obstruction repairs. Dr. Meyer’s seminal 2012 study, cited over 70 times, provided the first robust evidence that robot-assisted reoperative repair is not only safe but highly effective, achieving outcomes comparable to traditional open surgery while reducing recovery time. She later expanded this work with a 2018 updated series (36 citations), confirming durable long-term success and solidifying robotic surgery as the gold standard for this challenging reoperation. By demonstrating that even complex secondary repairs can be performed with minimal invasiveness, Dr. Meyer has spared countless children from the morbidity of repeat open procedures. Her contributions have directly shaped clinical guidelines and inspired a generation of pediatric surgeons to adopt robotic approaches, making her a pivotal figure in advancing pediatric urological care.
