About
Dariusz Patkowski is a leading figure in pediatric minimally invasive urologic surgery, with a primary focus on the surgical management of complex urinary tract obstructions in children. His major contributions center on refining and comparing advanced techniques for treating pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction (PUJO), particularly in challenging cases involving reoperative surgery or abnormal renal anatomy. In a landmark 2022 multicenter study, Patkowski and colleagues systematically compared outcomes of laparoscopic and robot-assisted ureterocalicostomy (LUC/RALUC) against the standard Anderson-Hynes pyeloplasty (LP/RALP). This work, which has garnered 14 citations, demonstrated that ureterocalicostomy is a safe and effective salvage option for primary and recurrent PUJO, providing crucial evidence for surgical decision-making. By evaluating both laparoscopic and robotic platforms, his research directly informs the choice of approach to optimize patient outcomes. Patkowski’s work is essential reading for pediatric urologists and surgeons seeking evidence-based strategies for managing the most demanding cases of ureteropelvic junction obstruction.
