F. Uriburu Pizzaro

About

Dr. F. Uriburu Pizzaro is a distinguished urologic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques for prostate and kidney cancers. His major contributions center on optimizing outcomes in robotic and laparoscopic nephron-sparing surgery, where he demonstrated that high-volume laparoscopic centers can successfully transition to robotic approaches while achieving “trifecta” outcomes—simultaneously attaining negative margins, minimal complications, and preserved renal function. His most cited work (38 citations) provides a critical roadmap for surgeons adopting robotic platforms. Additionally, Dr. Uriburu Pizzaro’s research on transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy revealed that increasing the number of biopsy cores correlates with higher blood loss and perioperative complications during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, offering evidence-based guidance for biopsy protocols. His bilingual publications (Spanish and English) underscore his commitment to global knowledge dissemination. With a career dedicated to refining surgical precision and patient safety, Dr. Uriburu Pizzaro’s work continues to shape best practices in urologic oncology.
