About
Dr. I. Galante Romo is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose career has been defined by advancing robotic surgery for complex pelvic and urinary tract conditions. His primary research areas include pelvic organ prolapse, prostate cancer, and reconstructive urology, with a specific focus on robot-assisted techniques. His most impactful work, a prospective analysis of robotic sacrocolpopexy for high-grade prolapse (53 citations), established long-term safety and efficacy, helping to shift the standard of care toward minimally invasive approaches. Dr. Galante Romo has also made critical contributions to the management of challenging patient populations, including a systematic review of robotic diverticulectomy and a landmark study on robot-assisted radical prostatectomy in kidney transplant recipients (19 citations), demonstrating that robotic surgery can be safely performed in immunocompromised patients. His early experience with robotic Anderson-Hynes pyeloplasty (11 citations) further showcased his technical innovation. Notably, he led the first robotic surgery program at Hospital Clínico San Carlos in Madrid, the first public center in Spain to adopt the Da Vinci system. His recent work includes the first purely robotic pediatric ileocystoplasty in Spain (2024) and the use of PSA density to predict oncological outcomes, underscoring his continued leadership in expanding the frontiers of robotic urology.
