    Professor Puri is known internationally for his research into underlying mechanisms causing birth defects, and innovative treatments, which have benefited millions of children all over the world. His research on vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), the most common urological disorder in children has had a major worldwide impact on patient treatment, through the development of a 15-minute day care endoscopic procedure to replace a major open surgical procedure. As a direct result of his research, this endoscopic treatment has radically altered the management of vesicoureteral reflux throughout the world. His research work on Hirschsprung disease and allied disorders, congenital diaphragmatic hernia and foregut anomalies has provided insights into the pathogenesis and treatment of these congenital conditions.
