About

Courtney Janowski is a pioneering surgeon and researcher whose work is reshaping the landscape of minimally invasive hernia repair, with a particular focus on robotic-assisted techniques. Her key research areas include robotic transabdominal preperitoneal (rTAPP) diaphragmatic hernia repair and the optimization of hemostatic agents in robotic ventral hernia surgery. Janowski’s most notable contribution is her development of a novel, minimally invasive approach for treating Morgagni hernias—a rare and challenging condition—through robotic rTAPP repair, which has been cited 6 times since its 2021 publication. This work offers patients reduced recovery times and lower complication rates compared to traditional open surgery. Additionally, her 2025 randomized controlled trial evaluating the Arista™ hemostatic agent in robotic ventral hernia repair, though early in its citation impact, represents a rigorous effort to improve intraoperative outcomes and reduce postoperative bleeding. Janowski’s research, though still building its citation footprint, demonstrates a clear commitment to advancing surgical precision and patient safety through evidence-based innovation. Her achievements highlight the growing role of robotics in complex abdominal wall reconstruction, making her a rising voice in the field of hernia surgery.
