About
Dr. Vanesa Cuadros Rivera is a pioneering urologic surgeon whose work centers on advancing minimally invasive techniques in prostate cancer surgery, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted procedures. Her major contribution lies in the development and validation of the lateral approach for robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, a technique that spares the anterior pubovesical complex and provides direct access to the seminal vesicle through a buttonhole incision. This innovation enhances surgical reproducibility and improves functional outcomes. Her most-cited paper, "Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy by Lateral Approach: Technique, Reproducibility and Outcomes" (2023), has garnered 3 citations, establishing a foundation for future studies in nerve-sparing and continence-preserving surgery. Dr. Cuadros Rivera’s work is notable for its emphasis on technical refinement and clinical reproducibility, offering a less invasive alternative that reduces postoperative complications. Her research is instrumental for surgeons seeking to optimize oncologic control while preserving quality of life, and she continues to be a key voice in the evolution of robotic urology.
