About
Dr. Michele Gnech is a leading figure in paediatric urology and minimally invasive surgery, with a particular focus on vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) and robotic-assisted renal procedures. As a key contributor to the European Association of Urology/European Society of Paediatric Urology, Dr. Gnech co-authored the landmark 2024 update on paediatric VUR guidelines, a work that has already garnered 86 citations and serves as a global standard for managing this common congenital condition. Dr. Gnech’s research also critically advances the field of nephron-sparing surgery, with a highly cited 2014 review analyzing outcomes of laparoscopic and robotic partial nephrectomy (41 citations), demonstrating expertise in balancing oncologic control with renal function preservation. Further innovation is evident in the development of the laparoscopic robotic-assisted “keel” bladder neck construction technique, a novel approach for complex urinary incontinence. Through these contributions—spanning guideline development, surgical technique refinement, and outcome analysis—Dr. Gnech has shaped contemporary practice in paediatric urology, offering young patients safer, more effective surgical options.
