About
Dr. P.M. Cabrera is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose research has centered on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly single-port transumbilical surgery. His major contributions lie in refining and expanding the applications of laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) surgery, demonstrating its feasibility and safety for complex urologic procedures. Cabrera’s work has been instrumental in overcoming the technical challenges of single-port access, such as instrument clashing and limited triangulation, while also exploring innovative combinations like umbilical LESS radical nephrectomy with vaginal extraction—a technique that reduces visible scarring and improves patient recovery. His most cited papers, including the 2012 “Estado actual de la cirugía transumbilical por puerto único en urología” (22 citations) and its 2013 English counterpart (16 citations), have served as foundational references for surgeons adopting these approaches. With over 50 cumulative citations, Cabrera’s research has helped establish LESS surgery as a viable, patient-friendly alternative in urology, particularly for renal and pelvic procedures. His work continues to influence the evolution of scarless surgery, making him a notable figure in the field of urologic innovation.
