About
Dr. Maryse Lejoly is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive techniques for complex renal tumors. Her primary research focuses on robot-assisted partial nephrectomy, particularly for challenging endophytic or hilar tumors where traditional approaches carry high risks. Her most notable contribution is the development and refinement of intra-arterial renal hypothermia during robotic surgery—a technique that cools the kidney from within to preserve function while allowing precise tumor excision. This innovation, detailed in her 2021 publication in the *Journal of Urology*, has been cited 3 times and represents a significant step forward in nephron-sparing surgery. By enabling surgeons to tackle highly complex cases that might otherwise require total nephrectomy, Dr. Lejoly’s work directly improves patient outcomes, reducing the risk of chronic kidney disease. Her collaborative research with colleagues like Pieter De Backer and Charles Van Praet underscores her role as a key figure in advancing robotic urology. For students and researchers, Dr. Lejoly exemplifies how technical ingenuity can expand the boundaries of what is surgically possible, offering new hope for patients with challenging kidney tumors.
