About

Dr. Marcelino Rivera is a leading urologic surgeon whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive techniques, particularly robotic-assisted surgery for complex urological conditions. His major contributions include pioneering the use of robotic technology for ureteral reconstruction, as demonstrated in his work on robotic-assisted ureteral reimplantation with Boari flap and psoas hitch, which has garnered 37 citations. Dr. Rivera has also significantly impacted the field of benign prostatic hyperplasia treatment, with his 2023 comparative study on holmium laser enucleation versus robotic-assisted simple prostatectomy (32 citations) providing crucial insights into surgical outcomes. His innovative approach extends to rare conditions, as shown in his single-center experience with robotic-assisted surgery for urachal anomalies (20 citations). With a cumulative impact of over 129 citations across his most-cited works, Dr. Rivera has established himself as a key figure in urologic robotics. His 2015 review on innovations in robotic surgery (40 citations) remains a seminal reference for understanding the evolution of the da Vinci system and its applications in urology, cementing his reputation as both a skilled surgeon and a thoughtful contributor to the field’s technological advancement.
