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.

Professor Puri is one of the most cited pediatric surgical researchers in the world. His research work has been cited over 24,500 times in peer-reviewed articles with h-index of 77 and i10-index of 502. He has published 11 books and monographs, 147 chapters in textbooks and over 750 articles in peer-reviewed journals, including many in high impact factor journals, such as New Eng. J.
