About
Dr. M. Hidalgo is a pioneering surgeon advancing the frontier of minimally invasive surgery, with a specific focus on magnetic-assisted robotic surgery (MARS). Their most notable contribution is the development and clinical validation of the MARS platform, a novel system that uses two robotic arms to give the surgeon superior control and visualization during laparoscopic procedures. In their landmark 2025 study, "Solo surgeon ambulatory magnetic-assisted robotic surgery (MARS): initial 51 cases with high patient satisfaction," Dr. Hidalgo demonstrated the feasibility of performing complex procedures with a solo surgeon, achieving high patient satisfaction and enabling ambulatory surgery. This work represents a significant step toward making robotic surgery more accessible, efficient, and patient-friendly, potentially reducing hospital stays and improving recovery times. While the field is nascent, with the study currently holding 2 citations, its early impact is clear: it lays the groundwork for a new paradigm in surgical robotics. Dr. Hidalgo’s research is essential reading for anyone interested in the future of surgical innovation, from medical students to seasoned robotic surgeons.
