About

Oswaldo Carmona is a urological surgeon whose work has significantly advanced the field of minimally invasive and robotic-assisted urology. His research focuses primarily on robotic surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia, urological fistula repair, oncological lymphadenectomy, and complex renal stone management. Carmona is perhaps best known for his pioneering contributions to robotic simple prostatectomy, with his 2008 paper on the subject accumulating 219 citations — establishing robotic approaches as a viable, lower-morbidity alternative to open surgery for large, symptomatic prostates. Building on this foundation, he introduced the intrafascial robot-assisted simple prostatectomy technique in 2012, offering further refinements including reduced blood loss and elimination of postoperative bladder irrigation. Beyond prostate surgery, Carmona has made notable contributions to robotic fistula repair, describing innovative transperitoneal-transvaginal approaches for vesicovaginal fistulae and robotic rectovesical fistula correction. His work on robotic bilateral inguinal lymphadenectomy for penile cancer, performed without robot repositioning, demonstrates his commitment to technical innovation in oncological surgery. Across his career, Carmona's cumulative citation record reflects a consistent drive to translate robotic technology into practical, patient-centered surgical solutions.
