About

Rodrigo Edelmuth is a surgeon-scientist whose work sits at the intersection of esophageal physiology, anti-reflux surgery, and the global diffusion of robotic technology. His research focuses on objectively quantifying gastroesophageal junction function using advanced tools like impedance planimetry (EndoFLIP™), providing a data-driven foundation for surgical decision-making in both primary and re-operative anti-reflux procedures. Edelmuth’s most cited study evaluates post-operative dysphagia following anti-reflux surgery (17 citations), a critical clinical challenge that directly impacts patient quality of life. He has also compared functional outcomes after Hill versus Toupet fundoplication and identified predictors of post-sleeve gastrectomy reflux, contributing nuanced insights to bariatric and foregut surgery. Beyond the operating room, Edelmuth addresses systemic barriers in surgical care: his work on global strategies for the diffusion of robotic surgery (2025) examines how financial, infrastructural, and educational constraints limit access in low-resource settings. By bridging high-fidelity physiologic measurement with health equity considerations, Edelmuth’s research not only refines surgical technique but also advocates for broader, more equitable adoption of advanced surgical technologies worldwide.
