About

Dr. E.Yu. Gurkina is a pioneering pediatric surgeon and gynecologist whose work has transformed the landscape of minimally invasive surgery for children and adolescents. Her primary research focuses on robot-assisted surgical interventions for complex gynecological and urological conditions in young patients. Dr. Gurkina’s major contributions include demonstrating the safety and efficacy of robot-assisted resection of interstitial rudimentary uterine horns—a rare Müllerian anomaly—and performing ureteroureterostomy for renal duplication, a common congenital urological defect. Her landmark 2021 study on robot-assisted surgeries in girls with gynecological diseases (3 citations) established a new high-tech frontier in pediatric operative gynecology, a field previously underexplored. With additional work on obstructive uropathy correction, her cumulative citations reflect her growing influence in advancing robotic techniques for delicate pediatric anatomy. Dr. Gurkina’s achievements are notable for pushing the boundaries of what is possible in adolescent surgery, offering less invasive options with faster recovery. Her research continues to inspire a new generation of surgeons to adopt robotic platforms for the most challenging congenital anomalies.
