About
Pasi Ohtonen is a Finnish surgical researcher whose work centers on minimally invasive pelvic floor surgery, robotic-assisted procedures, and abdominal wall reconstruction. He has made particularly significant contributions to the comparative evaluation of robotic and laparoscopic ventral mesh rectopexy, conducting rigorous randomized controlled trials that have become foundational references in the field. His 2016 RCT comparing robot-assisted and laparoscopic approaches for rectal prolapse has garnered 75 citations, while related matched-pairs and cost-analysis studies further demonstrate his sustained commitment to this line of inquiry. Ohtonen's research goes beyond operative technique, assessing health-related quality of life, cost-effectiveness, and long-term anatomical outcomes through MRI-based follow-up extending to five years—offering clinicians unusually comprehensive evidence. He has also broadened his scope into complex abdominal wall repair, investigating robotic posterior component separation, and parastomal hernia prevention with mesh, the latter published in a high-impact journal in 2024. His ongoing ROBEndo trial on robotic surgery for deep endometriosis highlights his dedication to expanding evidence-based minimally invasive surgery. With over 300 cumulative citations, Ohtonen stands as a leading voice in surgical innovation and outcomes research.
