About
Marcos Tobias-Machado is a Brazilian urological surgeon and researcher whose work has significantly advanced the field of minimally invasive urologic oncology, with a particular focus on penile cancer management and laparoscopic surgical techniques. He is best known as a pioneering figure in video endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy (VEIL), a groundbreaking approach that reduces the morbidity and improves cosmetic outcomes associated with traditional open inguinal lymph node dissection in penile cancer patients. His 2011 report on single-site video endoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy, his most-cited work with 35 citations, helped establish minimally invasive lymphadenectomy as a viable and increasingly preferred surgical standard. Tobias-Machado has continued to refine and champion this technique across multiple landmark publications, including international clinical reviews of minimally invasive inguinal lymphadenectomy and robotic-assisted adaptations of VEIL. His contributions extend to complex salvage robotic prostatectomy, including Brazil's first reported Retzius-sparing approach following radiation therapy. Through his sustained research output, clinical innovation, and international collaborations, Tobias-Machado has meaningfully shaped contemporary urologic oncology practice and mentored a generation of surgeons embracing advanced minimally invasive techniques.
