About
Raquel Nogueira is a surgeon-researcher whose work sits at the intersection of minimally invasive surgery, abdominal wall reconstruction, and surgical education. With a body of scholarship spanning robotic techniques, hernia repair outcomes, and digital learning tools, she has established herself as a meaningful contributor to modern surgical science. Nogueira's most impactful publication — a qualitative systematic review on social media as a surgical education tool (2022, 34 citations) — highlights her interest in how emerging platforms can reshape professional learning and knowledge exchange. Equally significant is her sustained focus on hernia surgery, where she has investigated robotic and laparoscopic approaches to ventral and groin hernias through large-scale database analyses using the Abdominal Core Health Quality Collaborative (ACHQC), generating real-world evidence on 30-day and one-year outcomes across thousands of patients. Her technical innovations include early work on robotic intracorporeal rectus aponeuroplasty and robotic anterior component separation, pushing the boundaries of minimally invasive abdominal wall repair. She has also examined surgeon and medical student preferences in cholecystectomy techniques, adding a human-centered dimension to surgical decision-making research. Across her career, Nogueira's work reflects a commitment to advancing both the science and the teaching of surgery.
