About

Shahin Chandrasoma is a pioneer in the field of pediatric robotic-assisted urologic surgery, with a focused expertise in minimally invasive techniques for renal procedures in children. His major contributions center on refining surgical approaches to enhance safety and precision in young patients. Chandrasoma’s most cited work, "Straight-arm positioning and port placement for pediatric robotic-assisted laparoscopic renal surgery" (2010, 11 citations), established a foundational methodology for optimizing robotic arm configuration and port placement, directly improving surgical outcomes in pediatric nephrectomies and pyeloplasties. He further advanced the field with his co-authored textbook, *Robotic Urologic Surgery* (2008, 3 citations), which served as a comprehensive guide for surgeons adopting robotic platforms. Notably, his "Pediatric Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Pyeloplasty Using a Transmesenteric Approach" (2010, 2 citations) introduced a novel transmesenteric technique that avoids bowel mobilization, reducing operative time and postoperative complications. While his citation counts reflect a niche but impactful body of work, Chandrasoma’s contributions are highly regarded among pediatric urologists for their practical, technique-oriented innovations. His research has directly influenced training protocols and surgical standards, making him a key figure in the evolution of pediatric robotic surgery.
