About
Dr. Ximena Recabal is a pioneering pediatric urologist whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for congenital urinary tract conditions in children. Her most impactful work centers on the comparative analysis of laparoscopic and robotic pyeloplasty versus traditional open surgery for uretero-pelvic junction obstruction in infants. In a landmark multi-institutional study (2022, 31 citations), she demonstrated that these minimally invasive approaches achieve comparable outcomes to open surgery while offering reduced morbidity, establishing critical learning curves for surgeons. This work has reshaped clinical practice by providing evidence-based guidelines for adopting robotic and laparoscopic methods in the youngest patients. Dr. Recabal’s contributions extend to refining surgical training protocols and improving perioperative care, with her research cited extensively by pediatric urologists worldwide. Her dedication to innovation and rigorous outcome analysis has positioned her as a leader in the field, bridging the gap between technological advancement and safe, effective pediatric surgical care.
