About

Yazan F. Rawashdeh is a leading figure in pediatric urology, with a career distinguished by pioneering work in minimally invasive surgery and evidence-based guideline development. His primary research focuses on robotic-assisted surgery for congenital urological conditions, particularly the treatment of ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) in children. His landmark study, "Pediatric Robot Assisted Retroperitoneoscopic Pyeloplasty: A 5-Year Experience" (133 citations), remains a cornerstone in the field, detailing the safe and effective application of the da Vinci Surgical System in 65 pediatric patients and establishing benchmarks for this complex procedure. Beyond surgical technique, Dr. Rawashdeh has made substantial contributions to clinical standards, serving as a key author on the European Association of Urology/European Society of Paediatric Urology's Paediatric Guidelines on Vesicoureteral Reflux (86 citations), which shape international best practices. His work has been instrumental in demonstrating that robotic pyeloplasty offers superior outcomes with reduced morbidity for children, solidifying his reputation as a thought leader who bridges cutting-edge technology with rigorous clinical evidence to improve the lives of young patients.
