About

Dr. S. Esquena is a pioneering urological surgeon whose work has advanced the fields of robotic-assisted prostate surgery and living-donor kidney transplantation. His most influential contribution, the 2007 study "Prostatectomía radical robótica: revisión de nuestra curva de aprendizaje" (25 citations), systematically documented the learning curve for robotic radical prostatectomy, providing critical benchmarks for surgeons adopting this minimally invasive technique. This work helped standardize training protocols and improve patient outcomes during the early adoption of robotic urology. Dr. Esquena also made significant contributions to transplant surgery through his detailed analyses of living-donor nephrectomy, publishing both Spanish and English versions of "Surgical aspects of living donor nephrectomy" (2012-2013, combined 6 citations), which clarified optimal surgical approaches to maximize donor safety and graft viability. His bilingual publications demonstrate a commitment to disseminating surgical knowledge across linguistic boundaries. While his citation counts reflect a focused, clinically oriented career rather than broad impact, Dr. Esquena’s work remains foundational for surgeons navigating the technical challenges of robotic prostatectomy and living-donor nephrectomy, embodying the meticulous scholarship that drives surgical innovation.
