About

Dr. Mayra Abad is a pioneering hepatobiliary surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive techniques for complex liver and bile duct cancers. Her primary research focus is the robotic approach to perihilar cholangiocarcinoma, one of the most technically demanding procedures in surgical oncology. In her landmark 2024 paper, "Robotic Approach for Perihilar Cholangiocarcinoma IIIA Type: Step-by-Step Procedure," Dr. Abad provides a detailed, reproducible roadmap for tackling type IIIA tumors—a classification historically considered among the most challenging for minimally invasive surgery. This work has already garnered 6 citations, reflecting its immediate impact on the surgical community as interest in robotic hepatobiliary surgery grows. By systematically demystifying the step-by-step technique, Dr. Abad is helping to expand the frontiers of what is possible with robotic platforms, potentially improving patient outcomes through reduced recovery times and surgical precision. Her contributions are particularly notable for bridging the gap between traditional open surgery and cutting-edge robotic methods, offering a practical guide for surgeons worldwide. Dr. Abad’s research is instrumental in shaping the future of complex biliary cancer treatment.
