About
Justin C. McCarty is a surgeon-scientist whose research focuses on advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques, particularly in hernia repair and cholecystectomy. His work bridges the gap between traditional laparoscopy and emerging robotic platforms, with a strong emphasis on patient-centered outcomes such as cosmesis, satisfaction, and quality of life. McCarty’s most-cited paper, a retrospective review of a single surgeon’s transition from laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair to robotic transabdominal preperitoneal repair (90 citations), provides critical insights into the learning curve and feasibility of robotic approaches. He also led a landmark prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial comparing da Vinci Single-Site cholecystectomy with multiport laparoscopic cholecystectomy (86 citations), demonstrating that robotic single-site surgery offers superior cosmetic results and comparable patient satisfaction. These contributions have helped shape evidence-based adoption of robotic surgery in general surgery. With over 176 combined citations, McCarty’s work is widely referenced by surgeons and researchers evaluating the trade-offs between innovation and established techniques. His studies are essential reading for anyone interested in the evolution of minimally invasive surgery and the integration of robotic platforms into routine practice.
