About
Dr. Rocio Castillo‐Larios is a pioneering researcher in the fields of surgical simulation, bariatric surgery, and minimally invasive techniques, with a special focus on extreme environments. Her most notable contribution is the SY-MIS Project (Space System for Minimally Invasive Surgery), a groundbreaking biomedical initiative launched in 2016 that designs endo-robotic and laparoscopic training systems for use both on Earth and in space. This work, which has already garnered 21 citations, addresses the critical need for surgical skill maintenance and patient safety in zero-gravity conditions, positioning her at the forefront of aerospace medicine. Dr. Castillo‐Larios also leads significant clinical research in high-volume bariatric centers, evidenced by her 2023 study on robotic complex revisional bariatric surgery (7 citations), and has explored the impact of severe obesity (BMI ≥35) on outcomes in minimally invasive adrenalectomy (5 citations). Her work bridges the gap between terrestrial surgical innovation and the future of space medicine, making her a key figure in advancing robotic surgery for diverse and challenging environments.
