About

Carlos Abril is a pioneering surgeon at the forefront of minimally invasive and robotic surgery, with a research focus on bariatrics, hernia repair, and the integration of artificial intelligence into the operating room. His most impactful work includes the first-in-human experience with a novel robotic platform combined with a Magnetic Surgery System for laparoscopic cholecystectomy (11 citations), a landmark study demonstrating the feasibility of magnetic-robotic controllers. Abril has made significant contributions to postoperative care, notably comparing pain medication usage and scores between robotic and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (6 citations), providing critical insights for enhanced recovery protocols. He is also a leading voice on the role of AI in modern hernia surgery (5 citations), offering practical frameworks for risk assessment and predictive analytics. Further demonstrating his impact, Abril conducted a large-scale MBSAQIP study (4 citations) comparing indications and outcomes of laparoscopic versus robotic conversional bariatric surgery, providing essential data for surgical decision-making. Through his innovative work on magnetic-robotic systems and AI integration, Carlos Abril is shaping the future of safer, less invasive surgical care.
