About
Dr. Sabine Zundel is a distinguished pediatric surgeon whose research focuses on the surgical management of congenital urological anomalies, particularly uretero-pelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) in infants and children. Her major contribution lies in advancing minimally-invasive treatment for this condition, where she has critically evaluated the role of the vascular hitch procedure versus the gold-standard dismembered pyeloplasty. Her 2020 paper on "Subpelvine Stenose/Kreuzendes Gefäß – kontra vascular hitch" (6 citations) provides essential guidance on when crossing vessels should not be treated with a simple hitch, helping to refine surgical decision-making and reduce reoperation rates. Beyond this, Dr. Zundel has been instrumental in promoting laparoscopic and robot-assisted techniques, making complex reconstructive surgery safer and less invasive for young patients. Her work directly impacts clinical protocols in pediatric urology, ensuring that children receive the most effective, evidence-based surgical care. With her focused expertise and practical contributions, Dr. Zundel continues to shape best practices in pediatric minimally-invasive surgery.
