About
Dr. Yishai H. Rappaport is a pioneering pediatric urologist whose work has fundamentally advanced the surgical management of obstructive megaureter in children. His primary research focuses on minimally invasive techniques for ureteral reimplantation, specifically comparing robotic and laparoscopic approaches to correct this challenging congenital condition. Dr. Rappaport’s major contributions include demonstrating the safety and efficacy of robot-assisted laparoscopic extravesical cross-trigonal ureteral reimplantation with tailoring, a procedure that reduces postoperative pain, hospital stays, and recovery time compared to traditional open surgery. His landmark multi-institutional study, which has garnered 20 citations, established that both robotic and laparoscopic approaches yield excellent outcomes, with the robotic platform offering superior dexterity for precise ureteral tailoring. Additionally, his 2019 paper (17 citations) provided the first detailed technical description of this robotic approach, serving as a critical reference for surgeons worldwide. Through his innovative work, Dr. Rappaport has helped shift the standard of care toward less invasive options, improving quality of life for countless pediatric patients. His research continues to influence surgical training and outcomes in pediatric urology.
