About
Mario Riquelme is a leading pediatric urologist whose research focuses on minimally invasive surgical techniques for congenital urological conditions in children. His major contributions center on advancing laparoscopic and robot-assisted approaches for ureteric reimplantation, particularly in managing vesicoureteral reflux. In a landmark multicentre international survey published in 2019, Riquelme assessed postoperative bladder dysfunction rates and outcomes in 151 children undergoing these procedures, providing critical data that has shaped clinical practice. His work systematically compares laparoscopic and robot-assisted methods, identifying risk factors for bladder dysfunction and demonstrating the safety and efficacy of these minimally invasive techniques. With his most-cited paper accumulating 29 citations, Riquelme’s research has directly influenced pediatric surgical protocols, reducing morbidity and improving recovery times for young patients. His contributions are widely recognized in the field of pediatric urology, where he continues to refine surgical approaches that minimize complications while maximizing functional outcomes. For students and researchers, Riquelme’s work exemplifies how rigorous multicenter studies can translate into safer, more effective surgical care for children with urological disorders.
