About

Dr. Sofia Nastis is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly in robotic and single-incision procedures for pediatric and adult urological conditions. Her most cited work, the first Canadian experience with robotic single-incision pyeloplasty, compared outcomes of single-incision versus multi-incision robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty using the da Vinci system. This study, with 11 citations, demonstrated that single-incision robotic pyeloplasty is a safe and feasible alternative, offering comparable outcomes with potentially improved cosmetic results. Dr. Nastis’s contributions have helped refine surgical approaches for ureteropelvic junction obstruction, reducing patient morbidity while maintaining high success rates. Her work underscores a commitment to innovation in urologic surgery, integrating advanced robotics to enhance precision and recovery. As a leader in her field, Dr. Nastis continues to shape the future of minimally invasive urology, inspiring both trainees and peers with her dedication to evidence-based surgical advancement.
