About
Dr. Alyssa Lombardo is a pioneering pediatric urologist whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for complex congenital urological conditions in children. Her major contributions center on robot-assisted laparoscopic surgery (RALP), particularly for uretero-pelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) and ureterocalycostomy. In a landmark 2022 multi-institutional study (31 citations), she demonstrated that laparoscopic and robotic pyeloplasty are safe, effective alternatives to open surgery in infants, providing critical evidence for adopting these approaches in the youngest patients. Dr. Lombardo has also refined surgical techniques, offering detailed modifications for robotic ureterocalycostomy (12 citations) and comparing Double-J versus cutaneous stents in pediatric RALP (10 citations). Her comprehensive 2022 review (10 citations) systematically cataloged adaptations needed to overcome infant-specific challenges in robotic surgery, serving as a key resource for surgeons. Notably, she investigates healthcare equity, revealing disparities in access to robotic surgery based on race and insurance status (8 citations). With a 15-year experience culminating in a 2025 study defining mastery in pediatric robotic pyeloplasty (6 citations), Dr. Lombardo’s work not only improves surgical outcomes but also ensures broader, more equitable access to cutting-edge care for children.
