About
Ignacio Robles is a pioneering surgeon at the forefront of minimally invasive surgery, specializing in the development and clinical application of magnetic-assisted robotic surgery (MARS). His major contributions center on demonstrating the feasibility and patient benefits of this novel platform, which uses magnetic fields to control robotic instruments, reducing the need for multiple incisions and enabling true solo-surgeon operations. Robles led the first prospective, multicenter clinical trial on robotic magnetic surgery, a landmark study (7 citations) that established the safety and efficacy of the approach. He has further advanced the field by reporting on the first 51 cases of ambulatory MARS (2 citations), achieving high patient satisfaction and proving the concept of same-day discharge for complex procedures. His work is notable for pushing the boundaries of what is possible in ambulatory and reduced-port surgery, directly translating engineering innovations into improved patient outcomes. With a growing citation footprint, Robles is a key voice in the next generation of surgical robotics, where magnetic control promises to make minimally invasive surgery even less invasive and more accessible.
