About

Ilina Rosoklija is a leading researcher in pediatric urology, with a primary focus on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for the youngest and most vulnerable patients. Her work centers on the safety, efficacy, and long-term outcomes of robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP) in infants and children, particularly those weighing under 10 kg. Rosoklija’s major contributions include demonstrating that RALP is not only feasible but also safe in infants under one year of age, challenging traditional preferences for open surgery. Her landmark 2021 study on RALP versus open repair in infants (20 citations) provides critical evidence for surgical decision-making, while her weight-stratified analysis (18 citations) offers nuanced guidance for operating on the smallest patients. She has also explored the role of urine cultures and antibiotics in preventing post-operative urinary tract infections, and her 2023 work on long-term safety outcomes (7 citations) underscores her commitment to comprehensive patient care. Beyond pyeloplasty, Rosoklija has investigated imaging and surgical utilization in pediatric cystinuria (16 citations), broadening her impact on pediatric stone disease. Her research is instrumental in shaping evidence-based protocols for pediatric robotic surgery.
