About
Irela Soto Troya is a pioneering robotic surgeon whose work has advanced the frontiers of minimally invasive urologic and gynecologic surgery. Her research focuses on the feasibility and safety of novel robotic platforms and complex multi-organ procedures. In a landmark 2016 study, she demonstrated the first successful robot-assisted fallopian tube transection and anastomosis in a chronic porcine model using the new REVO-I robotic system, a contribution that has garnered 43 citations and established a foundation for future fertility-preserving surgeries. She further showcased her technical ingenuity by performing the first simultaneous Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy and partial nephrectomy for synchronous prostate and kidney cancers, a combined approach cited 14 times that highlights her ability to optimize oncologic outcomes while minimizing patient morbidity. Soto Troya’s work not only validates emerging robotic technologies but also expands the repertoire of what can be achieved in a single, coordinated surgical session. Her achievements underscore her role as a leader in pushing the boundaries of robotic surgery, offering safer, more efficient solutions for complex patient cases.
