A Simpler Way to Monitor Kidney Pressure: Dr. Alex Xu Designs a Novel Intraoperative Apparatus

Published in Urology Video Journal, this study by Alex J. Xu, MD, and colleagues describes a simple, economical apparatus for measuring intrarenal pelvic pressure in real time during robotic ureteral reconstruction. By tracking intraoperative pressure changes, the tool helps surgeons confirm that ureteral obstruction has been fully relieved and prevents dangerous pressure spikes during surgery. Dr. Xu's innovation reflects The Institute's commitment to developing practical tools that enhance surgical safety and precision.
