About
Dr. Irela Soto is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work centers on advancing robotic-assisted surgery for prostate and kidney cancers. Her most cited study (40 citations) provides critical early evidence on the implementation and outcomes of the novel HugoTM RAS System in robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy, helping to establish the safety and efficacy of emerging robotic platforms. Dr. Soto also demonstrated the long-term durability of robot-assisted partial nephrectomy for complex cystic renal tumors, reporting excellent outcomes with a median follow-up of 58 months in a study that has garnered 16 citations. This work was instrumental in showing that robotic surgery can achieve oncologic control comparable to that for solid tumors, even in challenging cystic cases. Her research directly informs surgical decision-making and the adoption of new technologies in minimally invasive urologic oncology. Dr. Soto’s contributions are shaping the future of robotic surgery, offering patients safer, more effective treatment options.
