About
Angela La Manna is a leading pediatric urologist whose research focuses on minimally invasive surgical techniques for treating congenital urological conditions in children, particularly vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). Her major contribution lies in advancing robot-assisted extravesical ureteral reimplantation (REVUR), a procedure that reduces invasiveness and recovery time compared to traditional open surgery. Her most cited work, a 2017 multicentric international survey, provided critical evidence on the safety and efficacy of REVUR for unilateral VUR, demonstrating high success rates and low complication rates across multiple centers. This study, with 35 citations, has become a foundational reference for surgeons adopting robotic approaches in pediatric urology. Beyond this, La Manna has been instrumental in standardizing surgical protocols and training the next generation of specialists through collaborative research networks. Her work has directly improved outcomes for children with VUR, reducing hospital stays and postoperative discomfort. Recognized for her dedication to evidence-based innovation, she continues to shape the field by integrating robotic precision with pediatric care, making her a respected authority in pediatric urological surgery.
