About
Dr. V. V. S. Chandrasekharam is a leading pediatric urologist whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for congenital urinary tract conditions in children. His major contributions center on refining laparoscopic and robot-assisted approaches for pyeloplasty (repair of ureteropelvic junction obstruction) and ureteric reimplantation (correction of vesicoureteric reflux) in infants and children. Through a series of high-impact systematic reviews and meta-analyses—each garnering 14–27 citations—he has provided critical evidence comparing open, conventional laparoscopic, and robot-assisted methods for primary and re-do pyeloplasty, as well as extravesical versus transvesicoscopic ureteric reimplantation. His landmark 2015 single-surgeon series on laparoscopic pyeloplasty in infants (27 citations) demonstrated the feasibility and safety of these techniques in the youngest patients. By systematically evaluating outcomes across multiple surgical paradigms, Dr. Chandrasekharam has helped guide clinical decision-making, reduce morbidity, and establish best practices for pediatric minimally invasive urology. His work continues to shape how surgeons approach complex reconstructive procedures in children.
