About
Rianne J.M. Lammers is a leading pediatric urologist whose research centers on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for children, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted and laparoscopic procedures for complex urological conditions. Her major contributions include landmark comparative studies that have helped establish the safety and efficacy of robotic-assisted laparoscopic ureteral reimplantation (RALUR) for high-grade vesicoureteral reflux in children. Her multi-institutional European study comparing RALUR to open surgery, which has garnered 30 citations, provides critical evidence supporting the adoption of robotic approaches in pediatric populations. Dr. Lammers has also investigated the outcomes of robot-assisted pyeloplasty in very young children weighing less than 15 kg, demonstrating that these advanced techniques can achieve parity with traditional laparoscopic methods. Beyond surgical technique, she has explored the professional pathways to pediatric urology subspecialization, examining how training backgrounds influence practice patterns. Her work, cited over 45 times collectively, is helping to shape evidence-based standards for pediatric minimally invasive urologic surgery and is particularly valuable for surgeons seeking to expand robotic applications in children.
