About
Mariana Madanelo is a rising urologist whose research is reshaping the surgical landscape of pelvic reconstructive and oncologic urology. Her work centers on advancing minimally invasive techniques, particularly in robot-assisted surgery and the management of female stress urinary incontinence. Madanelo’s most impactful contribution is her pioneering experience with the Hugo™ RAS system for extraperitoneal robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, a study that has already garnered 17 citations and demonstrates her role in evaluating next-generation surgical platforms. She has also made significant strides in complex female urology, comparing extravesical and transvesical robot-assisted techniques for vesicovaginal fistula repair (6 citations) and authoring a comprehensive narrative review on the 50-year evolution of the artificial urinary sphincter for female stress incontinence (6 citations). Beyond the operating room, Madanelo has shown a keen interest in medical education, leading a nationwide survey that quantified how the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted urology residency training in Portugal (8 citations). Her dual focus on cutting-edge surgical innovation and the well-being of the next generation of urologists marks her as a thoughtful and impactful contributor to the field.
