About

Carlos Lodeiro is a leading figure in bariatric and metabolic surgery, with a focused expertise in revisional weight loss procedures. His major contribution lies in rigorously comparing the safety and efficacy of robotic versus laparoscopic revisional surgery, leveraging large-scale, multi-institutional data. His landmark 2019 study, published in *Surgery for Obesity and Related Diseases*, analyzed the MBSAQIP database to demonstrate that robotic revisional surgery offers comparable outcomes to the laparoscopic approach, with no significant differences in serious complications or mortality. This work, cited over 50 times, has provided crucial evidence for surgeons debating the role of robotics in complex reoperations. Lodeiro’s research directly informs clinical decision-making, helping to optimize patient selection and surgical technique in a challenging patient population. His work is essential reading for any surgeon or researcher exploring the frontier of minimally invasive revisional bariatric surgery.
