About
Dr. Mary Hidalgo is a leading pediatric surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive robotic surgery for children, with a particular focus on safety, feasibility, and optimizing recovery. Her major contributions include pioneering the establishment of day surgery protocols for complex procedures like retroperitoneal robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty, demonstrating that this approach is both safe and effective in a pediatric population. Dr. Hidalgo’s research has been instrumental in defining the morbidity profile of multidisciplinary pediatric robotic surgery programs through rigorous prospective observational studies. Her highly cited work, including papers on adverse events in robotic surgery and the feasibility of day-surgery pyeloplasty, has directly shaped clinical care pathways, reducing hospital stays and surgical trauma for young patients. With each of her landmark papers garnering 16 citations, Dr. Hidalgo’s impact is evident in the growing adoption of her protocols. Her notable achievement lies in translating surgical innovation into practical, evidence-based guidelines that improve patient outcomes and quality of life, making her a key figure in the evolution of pediatric robotic surgery.
