About

Marino Cabrera is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive robotic techniques for complex oncologic and reconstructive procedures. His primary research areas include robotic inguinal lymphadenectomy for penile cancer and robotic repair of vesicovaginal fistulae (VVF). Cabrera’s major contribution is the development of a novel robotic bilateral inguinal lymphadenectomy technique that eliminates the need for robot repositioning, significantly streamlining the procedure for patients with penile carcinoma and high-risk inguinal metastases. This innovation, detailed in his 2013 case report (19 citations), reduces operative time and technical complexity. He also introduced a transperitoneal-transvaginal robotic approach for VVF repair, described in a 2014 case series (27 citations), offering a less invasive alternative to traditional open surgery. His most cited work, a 2016 paper in *ecancermedicalscience* (28 citations), provides a comprehensive introduction to this technique. With a cumulative impact of over 70 citations across his key publications, Cabrera’s work has set new standards in urologic robotics, improving surgical outcomes and patient recovery. His achievements highlight a commitment to innovation in challenging surgical domains, making him a notable figure in robotic urology.
