His key research areas include vaginoplasty outcomes, surgical innovation, and the impact of patient factors like obesity on postoperative results. Del Corral’s major contributions center on improving surgical safety and efficacy in gender-affirming care. His most-cited work, "The Effect of Obesity on Vaginoplasty Outcomes" (2024, 8 citations), critically examines how body mass index influences surgical results, challenging restrictive patient selection criteria and advocating for more inclusive practices. In another notable study, "The robotic‐assisted free jejunal flap for neovaginal canal creation in gender‐affirming vaginoplasties" (2024, 3 citations), he introduces a novel approach using intestinal tissue to create a durable, self-lubricating neovaginal canal, addressing a key challenge in the field. Del Corral’s work is highly impactful for its direct relevance to clinical practice, offering evidence-based insights that enhance patient access and surgical outcomes. His achievements reflect a commitment to innovation and equity in gender-affirming surgery, making him a vital voice in this evolving specialty.
