Research Abstract |
Patients benefit from these research findings with less-invasive surgeries, less blood loss and reduced recovery times. Their findings, which have been adapted to the operating room and bedside, include: • Expanding the use of laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery for a number of disorders, including kidney removal for benign disease and for cancer, correction of urinary tract obstruction, and application of laparoscopy to various aspects of pediatric urology. • Discovering a close relationship between urinary incontinence and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder. These findings could help reverse this urinary disorder with special treatment for children with ADHD. • Using newly developed technology (often first tested in the UC Irvine urology laboratory) for better endoscopic treatment of patients with kidney and ureteral stones.
