About

Gemma Duque-Ruiz is a pioneering urologic surgeon and researcher advancing the frontiers of precision surgery through the integration of three-dimensional virtual modeling. Her work centers on improving outcomes in robot-assisted partial nephrectomy, a critical procedure for kidney cancer that demands meticulous preservation of healthy tissue. In her landmark 2025 study, "Three-Dimensional Virtual Models in Robot Assisted Partial Nephrectomy: A Needed Tool in the Era of Precision Surgery," Duque-Ruiz demonstrated how patient-specific 3D reconstructions enhance surgical planning, reduce intraoperative complications, and optimize tumor resection. This contribution, already garnering 6 citations, underscores her role in translating digital innovation into tangible clinical benefits. By bridging radiology and robotics, she empowers surgeons with unprecedented anatomical clarity, minimizing renal function loss and improving oncologic control. Her work is particularly notable for its emphasis on accessibility, advocating for the routine adoption of virtual models in minimally invasive urology. As a rising voice in precision medicine, Duque-Ruiz continues to shape how technology personalizes surgical care, making her research essential reading for clinicians and engineers alike.
