About
Dr. Patricio C. Gargollo is a pioneering pediatric urologist renowned for advancing minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgery for complex congenital urological conditions in children. His research focuses on developing and refining robotic techniques for vesicoureteral reflux, neurogenic bladder, and lower urinary tract reconstruction. Dr. Gargollo’s landmark multi-institutional study on robot-assisted laparoscopic extravesical ureteral reimplantation (119 citations) established safety and efficacy benchmarks for reflux correction, while his work on hidden incision endoscopic surgery (96 citations) revolutionized cosmetic outcomes and parental satisfaction. He has been instrumental in demonstrating that robotic approaches to bladder neck reconstruction, sling procedures, and appendicovesicostomy can match or exceed open surgery outcomes, with studies showing reduced complications and shorter hospital stays. His comparative analyses of robotic versus open appendicovesicostomy (47 citations) and bladder neck procedures (20 citations) have guided surgical decision-making. With over 500 cumulative citations, Dr. Gargollo’s contributions have expanded the frontiers of pediatric robotic urology, offering children less invasive options for life-altering reconstructive surgeries.
