About

Dr. Sophia Echevarria is a leading authority in robotic surgery, with a particular focus on its application in oncology and metabolic procedures. Her work bridges the gap between advanced surgical technology and evidence-based clinical outcomes, making her a pivotal figure in the field. Her most cited work, "Robotic Surgery: A Comprehensive Review of the Literature and Current Trends" (2023), has garnered 219 citations, establishing the foundational landscape for modern robotic surgical practice. Dr. Echevarria has made significant contributions by systematically evaluating high-risk conditions, such as in her comprehensive meta-analysis on pancreaticobiliary maljunction and its link to biliary cancer (2025). She is also a driving force in understanding global research trends, as demonstrated by her bibliometric analyses of robotic surgery across Latin America and in metabolic/bariatric surgery. As an active member of The Robotic Global Surgical Society (TROGSS), Dr. Echevarria’s work not only synthesizes current knowledge but also identifies critical gaps, guiding future research and clinical innovation in minimally invasive surgery.
