About

Dr. Valeria Robayo is an emerging leader in the field of thoracic and transplant surgery, with a focused research interest in optimizing perioperative care for high-risk patient populations. Her work centers on the intersection of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols and robotic-assisted surgical techniques, particularly in lung transplant recipients. In her most-cited study, she demonstrated that ERAS pathways may effectively mitigate the surgical risks associated with robotic-assisted fundoplication in lung transplant patients—a finding that holds significant promise for improving outcomes in this vulnerable group. Though early in her career, Dr. Robayo’s contributions are already shaping the conversation around safer, more efficient surgical recovery. Her research not only advances the practical application of minimally invasive robotics but also underscores the importance of tailored recovery strategies in complex transplant care. With a growing citation footprint and a clear trajectory toward impactful clinical innovation, Dr. Robayo is a researcher to watch in the evolving landscape of thoracic surgery and transplant medicine.
